Three girls skating on a circular ice ground of radius $200 \; m$ start from a point $P$ on the edge of the ground and reach a point $Q$ diametrically opposite to $P$ following different paths as shown in the figure. What is the magnitude of the displacement vector for each? For which girl is this equal to the actual length of the path skated?

The position vector of a particle is given by the expression $\vec{r} = 3t^2 \hat{i} + 4t^2 \hat{j} + 7 \hat{k}$. The distance traversed in the first $10 \, s$ is ......... $m$.

Why is a frame of reference required?

The numerical ratio of displacement to the distance covered is always

"The magnitude of displacement may or may not be equal to the path length traversed by an object." Explain this statement with an example.
