Question

In a long distance race, the athletes were expected to take four rounds of the track such that the line of finish was same as the line of start.suppose the length of the track was200m . Find the distance and displacement

Answer 1

Displacement is 0, since the athletes returned to the same spot from where they began.

Distance is 4 times the length of the track, as they took four rounds of it.
So, distance = 4×200m = 800m

Answer 2

the distance would be 4times the length of the track
i.e 800m and the displacement would be zero since the start line and the finish line are the same.
