Question

An athlete completes 1 round of a circular track of diameter 200m in 40 secs . What will be the distance covered and the displacement at the end of 2min 20 secs​

Answer 1

Answer:

Thus, the displacement between the initial and the final position will be the diameter of the track. Therefore displacement is 200 m and the distance covered is 2200m.

Answer 2

Answer:

Provided that:

• Diameter of circle = 200 m
• Time taken = 40 seconds

To calculate:

• The distance at the end of 2 minutes 20 seconds.

• The displacement at the end of 2 minutes 20 seconds.

Solution:

• The distance at the end of 2 minutes 20 seconds = 2200 metres

• The displacement at the end of 2 minutes 20 seconds = 200 metres

Full solution:

~ Firstly let us calculate distance!

↪️ Firstly we have to convert minutes into seconds by applying suitable formula!

• ${\small{\underline{\boxed{\sf{1 \: minutes \: = 60 \: seconds}}}}}$

→ 1 minute = 60 seconds

→ 2 min = 2 × 60

→ 2 min = 120 seconds

→ 2 min 20 seconds = 120 + 20

→ 2 min 20 seconds = 140 seconds

~ Now let's convert diameter into radius by applying suitable formula!

• ${\small{\underline{\boxed{\sf{Radius \: = \dfrac{Diameter}{2}}}}}}$

$:\implies \sf Radius \: = \dfrac{Diameter}{2} \\ \\ :\implies \sf Radius \: = \dfrac{200}{2} \\ \\ :\implies \sf Radius \: = 100 \: metres$

~ Now let's ind out the number of rounds!

→ Rounds = Ending time/Starting time

→ Rounds = 140/40

→ Rounds = 3.5

~ Now let's find circumference of the circular track by using formula!

${\small{\underline{\boxed{\sf{Circumference \: = 2 \pi r}}}}}$

$:\implies \sf Circumference \: = 2 \pi r \\ \\ :\implies \sf Circumference \: = 2 \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 100 \\ \\ :\implies \sf Circumference \: = \dfrac{44}{7} \times 100 \\ \\ :\implies \sf Circumference \: = \dfrac{4400}{7} \\ \\ :\implies \sf Circumference \: = 628.57 \: metres$

~ Now let's find distance by multiplying circumference with rounds

→ Distance = Circumference × Rounds

→ Distance = 628.57 × 3.5

→ Distance = 2200 metres

~ Now let's talk about displacement!

Explanation: Displacement is said to be the shortest distance. Therefore, according to figure the displacement is the diameter of the circular track itself!

→ Displacement = Diameter

→ 200 m = 200 m

→ Displacement = 200 m
