Lois Price came up with a brilliant idea of creating a 1,500m perfectly circular track. In order to do so she wanted
to know her distance and displacement at four different locations. Starting at the TOP of the circle, what are her
distance and displacement if she travels... (HINT - Remember the circumference of a circle)
a. quarter way around the track
Isoo
b. half way around the track
4
Р A
C. 4 around the track
d. an entire lap
dist = 375

Respuesta :

Her distances and displacement are;

[tex]\begin{array}{|l|c|c|}\mathbf{Location}&\mathbf{Displacement}&\mathbf{Distance}\\&&\\a. \ Quarter \ way \ around&\dfrac{750 \cdot \sqrt{2} }{\pi} m &375 \ m\\&&\\b. \ Half \ way \ around&\dfrac{1500}{\pi} m&750 \ m\\&& \\C. \ Three \ quarter\ way \ around&\dfrac{750 \cdot \sqrt{2} }{\pi} m&1,125 \ m\\&&\\d. \ Entire \ lap&0&1,500 \ m\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

The reason the above values are correct are as follows:

The known details are:

The length of the circular track, C = 1,500 m

The required details;

Her distance and displacement at four locations starting at the top of the circle, as follows;

At the top, the starting point, the displacement = The distance = 0

a. A quarter way round the track;

The radius of the circular track, r = C/(2·π)

∴ r₁ = 1,500 m/(2·π) = (750 m)/π

The displacement a quarter way round the track, s₁² = r² + r²

∴ s₁² = ((750 m)/π)² + ((750 m)/π)²

s₁ = ((750 m)/π)·√2

The displacement a quarter way round the track, s₁ = ((750·√2)/π) m

The distance a quarter way round the track, d₁ = C/4

∴ d₁ = 1,500 m/4 = 375 m

The distance a quarter way round the track, d₁ = 375 m

b. The displacement half way around the track, s₂ = r + r

∴ s₂ = r + r = (750 m)/π + (750 m)/π = (1,500 m)/π

The distance moved half way round the circular track, d₂ = C/2

∴ d₂ = 1,500 m/2 = 750 m

The distance moved half way round the circular track, d₂ = 750 m

C. The displacement 3/4 way round the track, s₃ = s₁ = (750 m)/π)·√2

The distance moved 3/4 way round the circular track, d₃ = (3/4) × 1,500 m = 1,125 m

D. The displacement for an entire lap, which is back to starting point at the TOP, s₄ = 0

The distance traveled in one lap = The circumference of the track, C = 1,500 m

Therefore, we have the following displacement and distances at the four different locations;

[tex]\begin{array}{|l|c|c|}\mathbf{Location}&\mathbf{Displacement}&\mathbf{Distance}\\&&\\a. \ Quarter \ way \ around&\dfrac{750 \cdot \sqrt{2} }{\pi} m &375 \ m\\&&\\b. \ Half \ way \ around&\dfrac{1500}{\pi} m&750 \ m\\&& \\C. \ Three \ quarter\ way \ around&\dfrac{750 \cdot \sqrt{2} }{\pi} m&1,125 \ m\\&&\\d. \ Entire \ lap&0&1,500 \ m\\\end{array}\right][/tex]
