उत्तर
Given: Diameter of circular track = 200m
time to complete = 40s
Formula: Circumference of circular track = d. π m
speed = `"distance"/"time"`
Solution:
Circumference of the track = d.π
= 200 × 3.14 = 628m
speed = `"628m"/"40s"` = 15.7 ms– 1
Distance covered in 2 min 20 s = speed × time
In the given time athlete covers 31/2 rounds = 2198m

The final position of athlete is as shown in figure (A – initial position, B – final position)
∴ Displacement = Distance × time
= 200 m
