Question

On a square track of edge length 100 m, an athlete starts from one corner and reaches diagonally opposite corner. Find the distance and the magnitude of displacement of the athlete.In the above question if the athlete reaches back to the same corner after running on the track once, find the distance and magnitude of displacement of the athlete.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The total distance is 400 m

the magnitude of displacement is 0

Explanation:

Because,

square has 4 sides, and length of one side is 100 m.

then length of all sides / perimeter is 400

Also, magnitude is a mathematical value.

Hence , magnitude of displacement is 0.
