Why is the following situation impossible? A skater glides along a circular path. She defines a certain point on the circle as her origin. Later on, she passes through a point at which the distance she has traveled along the path from the origin is smaller than the magnitude of her displacement vectorfrom the origin.
A figure skater glides along a circular path of radius 5.00 m. If she coasts around one half of the circle, find (a) the magnitude of the displacement vector and (b) what distance she skated. (c) What is the magnitude of the displacement if she skates all the way around the circle?
