Answer:

Her displacement is 0 miles and her distance is 5 miles.

Explanation:

Given information:

Sophie runs in an oval track. The length of track is 5 m.

Distance is the total length of path covered during motion while displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final position.

In this case, Sophie completes one cycle in the oval track and the track length is 5 m. So, the distance covered by her will be 5 m.

Now, after completing the track, the initial and final position of Sophie will be same and hence, the displacement she covered will be 0 miles.

Therefore, option "Her displacement is 0 mile and her distance is 5 miles" is correct.

The displacement of Sophie is 0 and her distance is 5 m

The displacement of Sophie is the change in her position.

If she runs in an oval track, she will return to her initial starting position. The initial position and the final position will be equal, the change in her displacement will be zero.

[tex]\Delta x = x_f- x_i\\\\\Delta x = 5 - 5 = 0[/tex]

The distance traveled by Sophie is the sum of the total distance covered.

distance = 5 m

Thus, the displacement of Sophie is 0 and her distance is 5 m
