3 If an object moving along the straight line covers equal distances in equal 4
4 intervals of time, it is said to be in uniform motion along a straight line.
Distance and displacement are two quantities that seem to mean the same but
are different with different meanings and definitions. Distance is the measure of
actual path length travelled by object. It is scalar quantity having SI unit of
meter while displacement refers to the shortest distance between initial and
final position of object. It is vector quantity. The magnitude of the displacement
for a course of motion may be zero but the corresponding path length is not
zero. using this data answer following questions.
1) Can path length be zero for motion of body from one point to other
point?
a) Yes
b) No
2) For any given motion from point A to B, displacement =10m and
distance = 5m. Is it possible?
a) Yes
b) No

a) Positive only
b) Negative only
c) Can be zero
d) All of the above
4) Define distance and displacement of particle.
5) Write difference between distance and displacement.
3 Radius of gyration: The radius of gyration of a body about an axis may be 4
5 defined as the distance from the axis of a mass point whose mass is equal to the
mass of the whole body and whose moment of inertia is equal to the moment of
inertia of the body about the axis.
the moment of inertia of a rigid body analogous to mass in linear motion and
depends on the mass of the body, its shape and size; distribution of mass about
the axis of rotation, and the position and orientation of the axis of rotation.
Theorem of perpendicular axes
It states that the moment of inertia of a planar body (lamina) about an axis
perpendicular to its plane is equal to the sum of its moments of inertia about
two perpendicular axes concurrent with perpendicular axis and lying in the
plane of the body. If we consider a planar body, An axis perpendicular to the
body through a point O is taken as the z-axis. Two mutually perpendicular axes
lying in the plane of the body and concurrent with z-axis, i.e., passing through
O, are taken as the x and y-axes. The theorem states that
I z = I x + I y.
Theorem of parallel axes
The moment of inertia of a body about any axis is equal to the sum of the
moment of inertia of the body about a parallel axis passing through its center of
mass and the product of its mass and the square of the distance between the two
parallel axes.
z and z’ are two parallel axes, separated by a distance a. The z-axis passes
through the centre of mass O of the rigid body. Then according to the theorem
of parallel axes
Iz’= Iz + Ma2
Where Iz and Iz’ are the moments of inertia of the body about the z and z¢ axes
respectively, M is the total mass of the body and a is the perpendicular distance
between the two parallel axes.
