Question

In a running copedition you participated and the length of the track is 700 m you have to take 4 rounds of track such that the line of start was same as the line of finish . calculate the total distance and displacement
​

Answer 1

Given:

Length of track, L= 700m

Total Rounds to be taken, R= 4

Start line is same as the finish line

To Find:

Total distance and displacement after running 4 rounds of track

Solution:

According to question,

Distance covered= L × R

Distance covered= 700 × 4

Distance covered= 2800 m

Now,

Since, after running and reaching to finish line, there is no change in the initial and final position of runner

So, Displacement= 0 m

Because displacement is the distance between initial and final position of the body after motion

Hence, distance covered is 2800 m and displacement is 0 m.
