Question

A 150m race is run on a 300m circular track of circumference. Runners start running from the north and turn west until reaching the south. What is the magnitude of the displacement made by the runners?

Answer 1

95.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The displacement is the position of the ending point relative to the starting point.

In this case, the magnitude of the displacement is the diameter of the circular track.

d = 300 m / π

d ≈ 95.5 m
