Question

An athlete completes one round of a circular track of diameter 200 m in 40 s . What will be the distance covered and the displacement at the end of 2 minutes 20 second

Answer 1

Solution:-

Given, diameter of the track (d) = 200m

Distance covered in 40 seconds = 200π meters

Distance covered in 1 second =

Distance covered in 2minutes and 20 seconds (140 seconds) = meters

meters = 2200 meters

Number of laps completed by the athlete in 140 seconds = = 3.5

Therefore, the final position of the athlete (with respect to the initial position) is at the opposite end of the circular track. Therefore, the net displacement will be equal to the diameter of the track, which is 200m.

Therefore, the net distance covered by the athlete is 2200 meters and the total displacement of the athlete is 200m....

hope it helps uh....❤️
