4. In a long distance race, the athletes were expected to take four rounds of the track such that the line of finish was same as the line of start. Suppose the length of the track was 200m. What is the total distance to be covered by the athletes? What is the displacement of the athletics when they touch the finish line?

The total distance to be covered by the athletes is 800 m

The displacement of the athletes when they touch the finish line is zero.

Explanation:

Given;

Length of the track, L = 200m

the Length of the track for a single round = 200 m

(a) Distance is a scalar quantity which has only magnitude;

If the athletes were expected to take four rounds of the track, then the total distance = 4 x 200 m = 800 m

(b) Also, if  the line of finish was same as the line of start, then displacement of the athletes when they touch the finish line is zero (0 meters). This is because displacement has both magnitude and direction. Once the athlete returns to his starting point, his displacement at that point is zero.

hi i’m sorry to call us today so we will get back with y’all and we will have to do it haha omg was the day

answer: i'm not sure which is which for i get confused on it all the time but i can tell you that the answer lies with the convex and concave devices. i hope this you. have a good day and best of luck to you!
