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

Ashok starts from his house and travels 3 km to reach his school. On finding the school gates closed, he returns to his house. What is?
The displacement of Ashok
Assertion: Displacement of a body may be zero when distance travelled by it is not zero.
Reason: The displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final position.
Give one example where the displacement is zero but the distance travelled is not zero.
Displacement can be zero but distance never.
