Define distance and displacement. A body covers one complete revolution around a circular park of circumference $176 \,m$ in $4$ minutes. Find the displacement of the body after $6$ minutes.
Define distance and displacement. A body covers one complete revolution around a circular park of circumference $176 \,m$ in $4$ minutes. Find the displacement of the body after $6$ minutes.
Distance : It is defined as the actual path followed by a body.
Displacement : : It is defined as the shortest distance between two points.
Given $2 \pi r=176\, m$
Or $\quad r=28 \,m$
After $6$ minutes, the body will be diametrically opposite to its initial position, therefore,
Total displacement after $6$ min $=2 r=2 \times 28$
$=56\, m$
