The displacement of a lap is the change in position from the starting point to the ending point. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. It can be calculated by finding the straight-line distance between the start and end points of the lap.

What is the displacement for a swimmer swimming 74 laps in a lap pool in 90 minutes?

Displacement is the distance from the final placement of the object from the initial point. So, since the swimmer started and ended in the same spot, it is zero.


What is the magnitude of the displacement of a car that travels half a lap along a circle that has a radius of 175 m?

Displacement is the straight line distance between two points. If the two points are a half a lap apart on a circular path then the straight line distance is the diameter of the circle; 350 m. What that means is that displacement describes only the relationship between end position and starting position, so the car stops at a point on the opposite side of the circle, 350m from the start. Displacement is not necessarily distance traveled. If the car had gone completely around the circle and stopped where it started, the displacement would be zero, even though it has traveled nearly 1100 m.
