Options
A
6.67 m/s
B
6.67 m/s north
C
0 m/s
D
400 m/s
Answer & Analysis
Answer
C
Analysis
To find the runner's average velocity, we
need to consider the total displacement and the total time.
Displacement: Since the runner completes
one full lap around the 400-meter track, the starting and ending points are the
same. Therefore, the displacement is 0 meters.
Total Time: The time taken to complete the
lap is 60 seconds.
Then, calculate average velocity:
