Answer:
a) The distance covered by the moving object is approximately 18.85 km
b) The magnitude of the displacement of the object is 0 (no displacement)
Explanation:
From the drawing, we have;
The sale of the drawing is 1 unit = 1 km
The radius of the circle in the drawing along which the object moves = 3 units
Therefore;
The radius of the circle along which the object moves, r = 1 km/unit × 3 units = 3 km
a) The distance covered by the object that moves from point A to B to C to D and finally to A is equal to the circumference of the circle
Therefore;
The distance covered by the moving object, d = 2·π·r
By pugging the value for r = 3 km
d = 2 × π × 3 km = 6·π km ≈ 18.85 km
The distance covered by the moving object, d ≈ 18.85 km
b) The displacement = The object's change in position
The initial position of the object = Point A
The final position of the object = Point A
Therefore, the displacement of the object, A = No displacement = 0 (No difference between the initial and final location of the object
