An athlete completes one round of circular track of diameter 50 m in 10 second. What will be the distance cover and the displacement at the end of 45 second?
An athlete completes one round of circular track of diameter 50 m in 10 second. What will be the distance cover and the displacement at the end of 45 second? Solution: Given: Diameter of circular track = 50 m So radius ( r ) = 25 m Time for 1 round = 10 s Total time = 45 s 1) Distance Covered First, find circumference of the track: Circumference = 2 π r = 2 π ( 25 ) = 50 π m \text{Circumference} = 2\pi r = 2\pi (25) = 50\pi \text{ m} 50 π ≈ 157 m So, in 10 s → distance = 157 m In 45 s: Distance = 157 10 × 45 = 157 × 4.5 = 157 × 4.5 = 706.5 m (approx) Distance covered ≈ 706.5 m 2) Displacement After 45 Seconds In 40 seconds → athlete completes 4 full rounds (comes back to starting point). Remaining time = 5 seconds In 5 seconds → athlete completes half round. Half round means he reaches the diametrically opposite point . Displac...
