As per the fact mentioned in the video.

2.Which one of the following is the SI unit of distance?

1. m
2. m/s
3. cm
4. K
Correct answer is 1

The SI unit of distance is meter (m).

3.Which of the following can be an example of zero

displacement?
1. Climbing up a building which is 100 m tall.
2. Walking on a straight path for 150 m.
3. Completing a lap of a circular track of 100 m radius.
4. Travelling from Chennai to Madurai in a train via Bangalore.
Correct answer is 3

The initial position and the final position are the same. Hence the displacement is zero.

4.A person starts walking from 98 m mark on the y axis

and reaches the origin, what is the displacement of
the person?
1. 98 m
2. -98 m
3. 0 m
4. Insufficient data to conclude
Correct answer is 2

Since the initial position is y = 98 Hence displacement = final position - initial position = 0-
98 =-98 m.

5.Which one of the following options BEST describes

distance?
1. The force required to lift an object.
2. The direction of motion of a car.
3. The length by which 2 points are separated.
4. The speed with which an object travels.
Correct answer is 3
By definition.

6.A cyclist cycles on a circular track of radius R for one

lap. What is the distance covered by the cyclist?
1. 0
2. 2R
3. 2πR
4. πR
Correct answer is 3

The perimeter/path length on a circular track of radius R = 2πR.

7.Consider the following statements: Statement 1: The

distance travelled by an object is always less than the
displacement of the object. Statement 2: The
displacement of an object is always lesser than or
equal to the distance travelled by the object.
1. BOTH Statements 1 and 2 are TRUE.
2. Statement 1 is TRUE but statement 2 is FALSE.
3. Statement 2 is TRUE but statement 1 is FALSE.
4. BOTH Statements 1 and 2 are FALSE.
Correct answer is 3

Displacement ≤ Distance for 1 dimensional motion.

8.A dog runs on a circular track of radius R, the ratio of

the diameter to the distance travelled on the track will
be ______.
1. π
2. 2R
3. 2π
4. 2πR
Correct answer is 1

Distance covered by the dog on the track = 2πR Diameter = 2R Ratio = 2πR/2R = π

9.Consider the following statements: Statement 1: The

distance covered by an object is always positive.
Statement 2: The displacement of an object can be
negative or positive. Select the most CORRECT
options from the given below.
1. BOTH Statements 1 and 2 are TRUE.
2. Statement 1 is TRUE but statement 2 is FALSE.
3. Statement 2 is TRUE but statement 1 is FALSE.
4. BOTH Statements 1 and 2 are FALSE.
Correct answer is 1

Only displacement can be negative in a given case but distance can never be negative.

10.What can be the maximum displacement of a

particle travelling on a circular path of radius x?
1. 2πx
2. 2x
3. x
4. πx
Correct answer is 2

The maximum displacement will be the diameter = 2x.

11.A particle travels a distance of 400 m in 5 minutes,

how long did it take for the particle to move a
distance of 200 m?
1. 5 minutes
2. 1.2 minutes
3. 2.5 minutes
4. 3 minutes
Correct answer is 3

The particle travels 400 m in 5 minutes Therefore, Let the time taken by the particle to
travel 200 m in 'x' minutes. 400/5 = 200/x x = (5/400) × 200 = 2.5 minutes

12.A car moves 30 Km North and then 40 Km in the

West direction. What is the net displacement of the
car?
1. 30 Km North-East
2. 40 Km North-West
3. 50 Km North-East
4. 50 Km North-West
Correct answer is 3

Net displacement of the car will be the straight line joining the origin and the final position
of the car: = √ ((30)^2 + (40)^2) = 50 Km The direction will be a combination of North and
East.

13.A geostationary satellite is a satellite that orbits

around the Earth at an altitude of 36,000 Km and
completes one revolution around the Earth in 24
hours. What is the distance travelled by the
geostationary satellite in each orbit it completes if
the radius of the Earth is known to be approximately
6000 Km? (Take π = 22/7)
1. 37.71 × 10^3 Km
2. 226 × 10^3 Km
3. 264 × 10^3 Km
4. 36× 10^3 Km
Correct answer is 3

The altitude at which the satellite revolves is 36,000 Km Radius of Earth = 6000 Km Total
radius of the orbit = 36,000 + 6000 = 42,000 Km Distance traveled in each orbit = 2π×R =
2×(22/7)×42,000= 264×10^3 Km.
14.A man walks along the number line. He starts from
the 0 m mark and walks to the 39 m mark. He starts
walking in the reverse direction for 52 m. He
reverses his direction of walking again and walks
another 26 m. What will be the final position of the
man?
1.
2.
3.
4.
Correct answer is 2

The man first walks 39 m in +x direction After reversing his direction, he walks for 52 m
His position at that point would be: 39-52 = -13 m He reverses his direction again and
walks for 26 m The final position will be: -13+26 = 13m
