An athlete completes one round of a circular track of diameter 200 m in 40 s. What will be the distance covered and the displacement at the end of 2 mins 20 s?
Solution:
From the data given,
Diameter of the circular track (d) = 200 m;
Time taken to complete one lap (t) = 40 s;
Total Time = 2 mins 20 s (Convert it into s) = s;
We know that the formula to calculate the circumference of the circle is,
Substitute the values,
Circumference of the track = m = Distance covered in 40 s
So,
Distance covered in 2 mins 20 s = m
Displacement = m
