A particle is constrained to move on a straight line path. It returns to the starting point after 10 sec . The total distance covered by the particle during this time is 30 m . Which of the following statements about the motion of the particle is false
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Displacement of the particle will be zero because it comes back to its starting point
\(\text{Average speed} = \frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}} = \frac{30\,\text{m}}{10\,\text{sec}} = 3\,\text{m/s}\)
