Question:

A particle is moved in a semi-circular path of radius \(R\). Then

Show Hint

In semicircular motion, displacement is the straight-line distance between start and end points, which is the diameter.

  • its average velocity is zero
  • its average acceleration is zero
  • its magnitude of displacement is \(2R\)
  • its average velocity and average speed are equal
  • its distance travelled is equal to displacement

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

For motion along a semicircle of radius \(R\): Distance travelled: \[ \pi R \] Displacement is the diameter: \[ 2R \] Hence the correct statement is: \[ \boxed{(C)\ \text{its magnitude of displacement is }2R} \]
