Question

how should we calculate the distance and displacement if the distance travelled by an object is circular or semi cirrcular

Open in App

Solution

For one revolution in circular path of radius r,
Distance travelled=total path =Circumference of circle
Displacement=Shortest distance between initial and final position=0
For semicircular path,
Distance=1/2 of circumference
Displacement=2r
