A boy completes one round of a circular track of
radius 20 m in 50 seconds. The displacement at
the end of 4 minute 10 second will be
Answers
4 minutes 10 seconds = (4*60)+10
= 240+10
= 250 seconds
In 50 seconds he covers = 2*(22/7)*20 m
= 880/7 m
In 1 second he covers = 880/7*50
In 250 seconds he covers = 250*880/50*7
= 4400/7 m
So, he moves through the circular track for = (4400/7)/(880/7)
= 5
So, the displacement is 0, as he again comes to the same point from where he had started.
Answer
Boy completes one round in 50 seconds.
This implies that his displacement is 0 when he completes one complete round.
Time given = 4 min 10 sec
= 250 seconds
No. of rounds = 250/50
= 5 rounds
Therefore, he covered a good amount of distance but his displacement is zero as he is at the point from which he started after each consecutive round(s).
