The concepts of vectors and scalars we could find the answers are:
Given parameters
- Radius of the running track r = 30 m
To find
- Distance and displacement
Displacement is a vector unit that has modulus and direction, so you must calculate using vector addition.
The distance is a scalar quantity that is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem if the distance is in several directions or with the algebraic sum if it is in one dimension.
Let's start by calculating the length of the circle
d = 2π r
d = 2π 30
d = 188.50 m
They indicate that Patty starts and ends at the same point and goes around the track twice
The distance is
D = 2 d
D =2 188.50
D = 377 m
Displacement
Since it begins and ends at the same point, the modulus of the vector must be zero
D = 0 m
the bold indicates vector
In conclusion, using the concepts of vectors and scalars we were able to find the answers are:
