Sam and sally are both running the mile at the region track meet. one mile equals four laps around the oval track. they are neck and neck during most of the race, but at the half-mile mark sam starts to pull ahead. he wins the race with a time of 5 minutes 25 seconds. sally stops at .9 miles to have a drink of water and then continues to the finish line. how does sam and sally's displacement compare for the race? a) their displacement is the same, zero miles. b) sam's displacement is greater than sally's. c) sally's displacement is greater than sam's. d) both sam and sally's displacement is 1 mile.

The whole passage is just distraction I guess !!

Both finishes the finish line thus the diaplacement for both is Zero !!

So in my opinion the most appropriate answer is A !!

Well the magnitude of its acceleration related to that car starts with the oil change like when you have to change the oil in your car you have to make sure that your precious car is starting really propley and very well

Answertraveling around a circular trackexplanation"traveling around a circular track" is the best answer as you could be traveling around a circular track at a constant speed. your velocity would therefore have the same magnitude but will always be constantly direction. since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, the rate of change will only involve the direction of velocity and not the magnitude.wrong choices: "an object at rest" does not accelerate at all"increasing speed while traveling around a curve" means that the acceleration will not be constant due to only change in direction; it will be constant due to both magnitude and direction"an object in free fall" does not necessarily change direction
