Detailed Solution

When an athlete completes one lap in a race, its distance and displacement are not the same.
The total path travelled by an object is called distance, whereas the shortest distance between the initial and final point is called displacement. So when an athlete completes one lap in a race, the initial and final position of the athlete is the same; therefore, the distance covered is one complete round, but the displacement is zero.
