- A green car starts off at the finish line at 0 m/s (initial velocity). The green race car does a complete rotation around the track. The track is 800 meters in length. When the race car reaches the finish line, it is driving at 30m/s in the west direction (final velocity). A second car, which is red, now pulls up to the finish line. The red car starts off at rest (initial velocity) and then speeds around the track at a velocity of 40 m/s west (final velocity), which flashed on the screen after the first lap. This took 20 seconds for the car to complete a full rotation.Compare the displacement of the green car to the displacement of the red car for 1 lap around the track.arrow_forwardA motorcycle, initially at rest, starts to move on a circular track with a 400-m radius.
