A100-meter sprint is a race using only the straight side of a racetrack. a 400-meter sprint is a race that makes one complete lap around a racetrack. why are velocity and speed the same for a 100-m sprint but not a 400-m sprint?

On edgentiy the answer is. In the 100-m sprint, the displacement is 100 meters and the distance is 100 meters. This means speed and velocity are the same for the 100-m sprint. In the 400-m sprint, the distance is 400-m, but the runners stop at the same place they start so the displacement is zero. Zero displacement means zero velocity.

Answer from: truesarah111

The speed and velocity of the body for 100-m track is same due to same distance and displacement. And due to unequal distance and displacement, the speed and velocity for 400 m track is not same.

Given data:

The value of length of first track is, s = 100 m.

The length of second track is, s' = 400 m.

The speed is defined as the total length of path covered during a journey in a given time (say t). And velocity is termed as the displacement covered by the body in a given time.

A 100-meter track of straight side resembles a linear motion in one-dimension. In this, the body is covering the 100 m distance and is not coming back. This means the distance and displacement for the body is same. Hence, the speed and velocity of the body for 100-m track is also same.

On the other hand, 400-meter round track resembles a circular motion of a body. In this case, the body has covered some distance but since it returns to its initial state, therefore the displacement becomes zero. Hence, the speed and velocity for the body undergoing one complete lap around a 400 m racetrack is not same.

Thus, we conclude that the speed and velocity of the body for 100-m track is same due to same distance and displacement. But different is case of 400 m track, due to unequal distance and displacement.
