Answer:

Distance and displacement are the same in the 100-m sprint, therefore, velocity and speed are the same in the 100-m sprint.

Distance is 400 meters in the 400-m sprint, therefore Speed is not zero in the 400 M sprint.

Displacement is zero in the 400-m sprint, therefore, Velocity is zero in the 400-m sprint

Note: The question is missing some details which is given below;

A 100-meter sprint is a race using only the straight side of a racetrack. a 400-meter sprint is a race that makes one complete lap around a racetrack. why are velocity and speed the same for a 100-m sprint but not a 400-m sprint?

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of a body is the ratio of the distance covered and the time taken whereas the velocity of a body is the rate of change of displacement with time.

Distance measures the total length of space covered throughout the duration of motion, whereas displacement measures the change in a specified direction from a specific point.

In the 100 m race along a straight line, both distance and displacement = 100 m, therefore speed and velocity are the same. However, in the 400 m race, distance covered is 400 m, but the displacement is zero since the person returns to his/her starting point. Therefore, speed is not equal to zero, but velocity is equal to zero.
