30 If an object moving along the straight line covers equal distances in equal 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. Its a scalar quantity.
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 study the graph given below and answer the following questions.
