A skater glides along a circular path

Reference no: EM13666037

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 during a point at which the distance she has traveled along the path from the origin is smaller than the magnitude of her displacement vector from the origin.
