Answer:
Distance covered by Neva = 300 m
Displacement of Neva = 0 m
Explanation:
Given:
Length of the pool = 50 meter
Number of laps Neva swam = 3
1 lap is to swim to the other side and back.
To find the distance and displacement.
Solution:
To calculate the distance swum by Neva we will find the total length covered by Neva in 3 laps.
1 lap is 50 meters to the other side and 50 meters back
So, the length of 1 lap = [tex]50\ m+50\ m=100\ m[/tex]
Total length of 3 laps = [tex]3\times 100\ m = 300\ m[/tex]
To calculate the displacement we will find the distance between initial position and final position.
We, see that on completing 3 laps Neva returns to her starting point. Thus the initial and final position are the same. Do, the distance between initial position and final position will be = 0 m
Distance covered by Neva = 300 m
Displacement of Neva = 0 m
