Question

In long distance race, an athlete was expected to take 4
rounds of track where line of finish was the same as line
of start. If length of track is 200m
answer foll?:-
(a) Is motion of athelet accelerated?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

when finish line is same as that of initial line , it means length of one round =

2 × Length of track = 2 × 200 = 400 m

(a) total distance covered by athletics =

4 × Length of one round

= 4 × 400 = 1600 m = 1.6 Km = 1 mile

(b) displacement covered by athletics = final position - inital position =0

{ we know, accroding to question one round equal final position is same as initial position so, displacement in one round = 0 hence, displacement in 4 rounds = 0}

(C) we probably say that motion of athletic is non - uniform motion

becoz in question , never include about athletic speed , { e.g constant or not }

but practically athletic moves non - uniform motion , becoz sometime he accelerates own motion , sometimes do slow .

(d) never !!!

because , displacement = 0

but distance = 1600m = 1.6 km
