Question

Derek runs 4 laps around the track. If each lap around the track is 0.25 miles long, and he starts and stops in the same location, what is Derek's displacement? A) 0.5 miles. B) 0 miles. C) 1.0 miles. D) 0.25 miles

Answer 1

The answer is B) 0 miles. Because displacement is the shortest distance between starting point and ending point. Since, his starting point and ending point is the same, hence, his displacement is 0 miles.
