Question

An athlete completes one round of a circular track of diameter 200meter in 40seconds. what will be the distance covered and the displacement at the end of 2minutes 20seconds

Answer 1

Hey!!

length AB=200m=2R

time taken to complete one round=40 sec

let the starting point be A

in 140 sec or 2 min 20 sec number of rounds completed=14040=3.514040=3.5

distance traveled=3.5 * (2*ππ*R)=3.5*2*ππ*100 m=2200 m (approx)

displacement refers to change in position from the starting point.the final point is B

as after 3.5 revolutions(starting from A) the athlete will be at B.

displacement=200m
