A particle is performing a uniform circular motion along a circular of radius ' \(\mathrm{R}\) '. In half the period of revolution, its displacement and distance covered are respectively

  1. A \(2 R, \pi R\)
  2. B \(R, \pi R\)
  3. C \(2 \mathrm{R}, 2 \pi \mathrm{R}\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{2 R}, 2 \pi R\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2 R, \pi R\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In half the period, particle is diametrically opposite to its initial position. Hence, its displacement is \(2 \mathrm{R}\). It has covered a semicircle, hence distance covered by particle is \(\pi \mathrm{R}\).
