In the circus arena, the horse ran a circle with a diameter of 12 m in 30 seconds.

In the circus arena, the horse ran a circle with a diameter of 12 m in 30 seconds. Determine the path and movement of the horse in 15 seconds of movement; in 30 s.

d = 12 m.

t = 30 s.

t1 = 15 s.

L -?

S -?

L1 -?

S1 -?

The path L traveled by the body is the length of the line that the body describes when moving. The path is the length of the movement path.

Displacement S is a vector that connects the initial and final positions of the body during movement.

Since the horse made a full turn around the circus arena when moving in time t = 30 s, it returned to its original position.

Moving S = 0, the path L traversed by the horse will be a long circle: L = P * d.

L = 3.14 * 12 m = 37.68 m.

When the horse moves in time t = 15 s, it will make a half turn and will be on the side opposite from the starting point.

S1 = d, L1 = P * d / 2.

S1 = 12 m, L1 = 3.14 * 12 m / 2 = 18.84 m.

Answer: S = 0, L = 37.68 m, S1 = 12 m, L1 = 18.84 m.
