Question

2. A horse is running around a square field of side 10m. Find its distance and displacement if it completes (a) one round (b) two round and (c) half a round.​

Answer 1

Answer:

one round

distance = 40 m

displacement =0

two rounds

distance= 80 m

displacement= 0

half a round

distance= 20 m

displacement= 20 m

Answer 2

Answer:

Displacement =0m

Distance=200m

Explanation:

3min 20sec =180+20=200sec

Time taken to cover one round =40 sec

Total no of rounds =200/40 =5 rounds

Therefore he reaches from where he started,displacement = 0m

5 round = 5×40 m ( perimeter of square ) = 200 m
