an athlete completes one round of a circular track of diameter 200m in 20 second what is the distance covered and the displacement at the end of 2 minutes 20 seconds
Answers
Distance = 4400 m
Displacement = 0 m
Given : Diameter of the the circular track = 200 m
Time taken to cover = 20 seconds
To find : Distance Covered displacement in 2 minutes 20 seconds
Solution : Diameter of the the circular track = 200 m
So, Radius = 200/2 = 100 m
Time taken to cover = 20 seconds
First we need to find the distance covered by an athlete
Distance covered by an athlete = Circumference of the circular track
= 2πr
= 2 × 22/7 × 100
= 44/7 × 100
= 4400/7
= 628.571429 m
So, Distance covered by an athlete = 628.571429 m
Then find the speed of an athlete
Now we can find the distance covered in 2 minutes 20 seconds
Speed = 31.4285715 m/s
Time = (60×2)+ 20 = 120 + 20 = 140 seconds
Therefore distance traveled in 2 minutes 20 seconds is 4400 metres.
Displacement is distance between initial position and final position
Here initial position and final position becomes same
So, Displacement = 0 m
Diameter=200 m
Radius= 100 m
Time= 70 secs
At the end of 1 min 10 secs he will complete 3 and half rounds
2πr+ 2πr+ 2πr+ πr= 7πr
because 3 1/2 circles
Distance=7πr
= 7*22/7*100
=2200m
Therefore distance is 2200m
Displacement= Diameter
Displacement= Diameter = 200 m
