Arunner starts at position 0, and moves in one direction to position 12m. what is the distance traveled by the runner? what was the runner’s displacement?

Distance = Displacement = 12 meters

Explanation:

Total distance covered by a person is equal to the total path covered while the displacement of a person is equal to the shortest path covered.

Here, a runner starts at position 0, and moves in one direction to position 12m.

Here, the distance covered and the displacement both are same i.e. 12 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
