Two particles A and B start from origin simultaneously. A moves along x-axis at 3 m/s; B at 4 m/s along y-axis. Distance between them after 5 s:

Answer: 25 m.

  • A 15 m
  • B 20 m
  • C 25 m
  • D 35 m

Correct answer: C. 25 m

Explanation: xA=15, yB=20. Distance = √(225+400) = √625 = 25 m.

tvuvTΔtΔvslope = aarea = displacement (s)

On a velocity-time graph for uniform acceleration, the slope of the line gives the acceleration and the shaded area under the line gives the displacement.

Concept context

Equations of motion, projectile motion, relative velocity. Foundation of all mechanics.
