distance.= (Pi()*250 /2) / 5 = 78.So average velocity is displacement / time= 250/78.5 = 3.Acceleration is change in velocity / change in time = -10/78.= - 0.......
Find the x and y components of this runner's average velocity between points A and B.
Find the x and y components of this runner's average acceleration between points A and B.

No point B is specified.
If B was the whole way around the track his displacement hasn't altered so his average velocity is zero.
(s2-s1)/t = (0)/t = 0
His velocity hasn't altered so the acceleration is zero.
(V2-v1)/t = (5-5)/t = 0/t = 0

If B was half way around the circle then the change in DISPLACEMENT is the diameter of the track
= 250m

And the change in velocity would be -5 - (5) = -10 m/s

All you need to do is work out the time from which to calculate velocity and acceleration
speed = distance / time
time = distance / speed (note, distance. NOT displacement)
= (Pi()*250 /2) / 5 = 78.5 s

So average velocity is displacement / time
= 250/78.5 = 3.18 m/s

Acceleration is change in velocity / change in time = -10/78.5
= - 0.127 m/s^2
