A runner starts at point A, runs around a 1-mile track and finishes the run back at point A. Which of the following statements is true?

This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here is the complete question:

A runner starts at point A, runs around a 1-mile track, and finishes the run back at point A. Which of the following statements is true?

A. The runner's displacement is 1 mile.

B. The runner's displacement is zero.

C. The distance the runner covered is zero.

D. The runner's speed was zero.

The answer to this question is B. The runner's displacement is zero

Explanation:

Displacement always implies a change of position; this means an object or individual moves from point A to point B, and therefore the original position is different from the final position. Additionally, in displacement, other related factors such as the total distance the body moved and the direction of movement. In the case presented, it can be concluded there was no displacement or the displacement is zero because even when the runner moved and ran two miles, he returned to the initial position, and without a change in the position, there is no displacement.
