An Athelice complete :Round of a circular track of diameter 200m in base Distance travelled by athletes And displacement

Distance = 1256 m

Displacement = 0

Explanation:

Distance :

Distance may be defined as the actual length between two points along its path.

It is a scalar quantity and its value can be positive or zero.

Displacement :

Displacement is defined as the shortest length between two point , i.e. between the initial point and the final point.

It is a vector quantity and it has values which can be either positive or negative or zero.

From the question, the diameter of the circular track is, r = 200 m

∴ Distance travelled by an athlete is = circumference of the circular track

                                                            = 2πr

                                                            = 2 x 3.14 x 200

                                                            = 1256 m

 Displacement = 0  (since the original point coincides with the final point).

waves moving from a fast medium to a slow medium will experience a reflection as light travels more slowly than red light. total internal reflection occurs when the critical angle is.

see the picture for the vector

the magnitude of the vector by pythagorean theorem

r = √( (-10)^2 + (3)^2 ) = √109

magnitude = √109 units

the direction angle between vector and x-axis is

tan^(-1)(3/10) = 16.699

so the direction is approximately 16.7 degrees north of west
