Yes, you are correct! The distance covered by the runner would indeed be 800 meters because the runner completes 2 laps around the track, and each lap is 400 meters. To find the distance, you can simply multiply the number of laps (2) by the length of each lap (400 meters).
On the other hand, the displacement is given by the shortest path between the initial and final positions. Since the runner starts and finishes at the same position for 2 laps around the track, the displacement would be 0 meters. This is because the runner's ending position is the same as their starting position, meaning there is no displacement relative to the starting point.
So, in this scenario, the distance covered is 800 meters, while the displacement is 0 meters.
