The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Understand the problem and given data.** - Diameter of the circle, \( D = 5 \) meters. - Number of revolutions, \( n = 3 \). **Step 2: Calculate the distance covered.** The distance covered by the particle is the total length of the path it travels. Since the particle is moving in a circle, the distance covered in one revolution is the circumference of the circle. - The formula for the circumference of a circle is: \[ \text{Circumference} = \pi \times D \] where \( D \) is the diameter of the circle. - For one revolution: \[ \text{Circumference} = \pi \times 5 \text{ meters} \] - For three revolutions: \[ \text{Distance covered} = 3 \times \pi \times 5 \text{ meters} \] - Simplify the expression: \[ \text{Distance covered} = 15 \pi \text{ meters} \] - Approximate the value using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \): \[ \text{Distance covered} = 15 \times 3.14 \text{ meters} \approx 47.1 \text{ meters} \] **Step 3: Calculate the displacement.** Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final positions of the particle. Since the particle completes 3 revolutions and returns to its starting point, the initial and final positions are the same. - Therefore, the displacement is: \[ \text{Displacement} = 0 \text{ meters} \] ### Final Answer: - **Distance covered**: \( 47.1 \) meters (approximately). - **Displacement**: \( 0 \) meters.

### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Understand the problem and given data.** - Diameter of the circle, \( D = 5 \) meters. - Number of revolutions, \( n = 3 \). **Step 2: Calculate the distance covered.** ...
