(B) Displacement will be equal to 1.114 km
Explanation:
We have given circumference of the circular track = 3.5 km
Circumference is given by
r = 0.557 km
(a) It is given that car travels from southernmost point to the northernmost point.
For this car have to travel the distance equal to semi perimeter of the circular track
So distance will be equal to
(b) If car go along the diameter of the circular track then it will also go from southernmost point to the northernmost point. and it will be equal to diameter of the track
So displacement will be equal to d = 2×0.557 = 1.114 m
