- When NASCAR racers are in the Daytona 500, they travel a distance of 500 miles. But because they finish exactly
where they started their displacement is:
O miles
250 miles
500 miles
1000 niles​

Respuesta :

0mi

they finished where they started, and displacement would be their starting position (0 miles) minus their final position (0 miles).

Answer:

Displacement, d = 0

Explanation:

It is given that,

Distance traveled by NASCAR racers, d = 500 miles

They finish exactly  where they started. The only difference between the     distance and displacement is the distance is the overall path covered and the displacement is the shortest path covered.

Here, the initial and final position of the racers is same i.e. 500 miles. So, their displacement is :

d = final position - initial position

d = 500 - 500

d = 0

So, their displacement is 0 miles. Hence, the correct option is (A).
