JEE Main & Advanced Physics Motion in a Straight Line / सरल रेखा में गति Question Bank Distance and Displacement

  • question_answer
    An athlete completes one round of a circular track of radius R in 40 sec. What will be his displacement at the end of 2 min. 20 sec?         [NCERT 1990; Kerala PMT 2004]

    A)             Zero    

    B)             2R

    C)             \[2\pi R\]         

    D)             \[7\pi R\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Total time of motion is 2 min 20 sec = 140 sec.             As time period of circular motion is 40 sec  so in 140 sec. athlete will complete 3.5 revolution i.e., He will be at diametrically opposite point i.e., Displacement = 2R.
