An athlete completes one round of a circular track of diameter dd in 40 s40\text{ s}. What will be the displacement at the end of 2 minutes 20 seconds2\text{ minutes } 20\text{ seconds}?

  1. A.Zero
  2. B.dCorrect answer
  3. C.2d
  4. D.7 \pi d

Solution

Total time =2 min 20 s=140 s= 2\text{ min } 20\text{ s} = 140\text{ s}. Number of rounds =140/40=3.5= 140 / 40 = 3.5 rounds. After 3 complete rounds, the athlete is back at the starting point. In the remaining 0.50.5 round, the athlete reaches the diametrically opposite point, so the displacement equals the diameter, dd.
