After traversing 1/2 of a circular track with radius 'R', the body has effectively moved from one end of a diameter to the other end of the same diameter. The distance traveled is 1/2 the circumference = (pi)D/2 = (pi)R. The displacement is D = 2R. The ratio of displacement to distance = (2R)/(piR) = 2/pi= 0.63662 (rounded), independent of 'R'.

An athlet completes one round of a circular track of diameter 200m in 40s what will be the distance covered and the displacement at the end of 2 minutes 20s?
Distance covered - 2199m Displacement - 200m Distance covered - 2199m Displacement - 200m
A body is moving along a circular path of radius rwhat will be the distance traveled and displacement of the body when it completes half a revolution?
double of the radius means equal to diameter
What is the term for distance around a circle?
The distance around a circle is its circumference
What is the word when the distance around the circle?
The word for the distance around a circle is "circumference".
Is the diameter of a circle the same as the circumference?
No. Diameter is the distance across. Circumference is the distance around.
Can a body have distance without displacement give an example?
Sure. As one car goes around a circle and as it completes one full rotation, then distance covered by the car is the circumference of the circle. But the displacement is Zero. So distance but no displacement.
Will the displacement of a moving object in a given interval of time is zerowould the distance traveled by the object also be zero justify?
Displacement is a vector quantity while distance is a scalar quantity. so in case of displacement, it depends on final position. For example:- If a man walks on a circle, then if he completes one round then his displacement will be zero because the man is at same position as start position. But, his distance travelled will not be zero; it is equal to circumference of the circle.
An athlet completes one round of a circular track of diameter 200m in 40s what will be the distance covered and the displacement at the end of 2 minutes 20s?
Distance covered - 2199m Displacement - 200m Distance covered - 2199m Displacement - 200m
What is the displacement of the earth when it completes one revolution around the sun?
Displacement is the straight-line distance between the starting and ending points. The displacement in the course of one complete revolution is zero.
A paricle moves along a circular path of radius r and completes a half circle calulate the distance traveled by the particle and the dispalcement of the particle?
distance = 1/2 circumference displacement = 2 r (special case because exactly half of the circle was travelled) circumference = 2*pi*r 1/2 circumference = 1/2*2*pi*r = pi * r
Does displacement always equal distance traveled?
No. Displacement is how far an object is from its original position. This means that if an object traveled in a circle and returned to its original point, it will have a displacement of 0 while the distance will be whatever the circumference of the circle was. Hope that helps.
What will be the distance and displacement of the body when it completes half a revolution if a body is moving along a circular path of radius R?
wavelength
How do you get the distance and displacement if the circumference is given?
the distance is obtained by knowing the perimeter of the circle in question, this Canberra determined using the rule for circle circunfrence. As for the displacement it is the shortest distance between the starting pint of travel and ending. If for example the vehicle traveled around the whole circunfrence of a circle it will have a displacement of zero, as for it's distance it will be the length or circunfrence of the circle.
Is the distance coveredby body may be greater than magnitude of the displacement?
Yes distance will be equal or more than the magnitude of displacement. Distance cannot be less than the magnitude of displacement in any way. For example if a body goes around a circle completing one full round then distance covered will be the circumference ie 2pi r But displacement is zero. As the starting and stopping point are one and the same, the distance between initial and final is zero.
A body is moving along a circular path of radius rwhat will be the distance traveled and displacement of the body when it completes half a revolution?
double of the radius means equal to diameter
What are your ideas about distance and displacement?
Distance is scalar. Displacement is a vector.
What is distance and displacement?
how far you go and displacement is going in a straight line
