the process involved.

Q.4. Give reason for the following:

a) A rubber band is a solid but it’s shape can be changed by stretching.

b) The smell of hot food reaches you several meters away but to take smell from cold food you have
to go close.

ii) Displacement can have a value greater than distance.

iii) Displacement can have a value equal to or less than the distance.

iv) Displacement is a scalar quantity.

b) The slope of the velocity -time graph represents:

i) distance

ii) acceleration

iii) displacement.

iv) uniform motion.
