A car travels 60 miles due West first then turns back and travels 120 miles due East in 3 hours. What is... a) the distance traveled by car?

b) the displacement of the car?

Explanation:

In this problem, we are required to solve for the total distance that the car travelled. and the displacement

A) the distance travelled by car

this can be gotten by summing all the distances the car has travelled.

i,e total distance= 60 miles+120 miles

total distance= 180 miles

B) the displacement of the car

the displacement can be gotten by  subtracting the final distance from the initial distance

final distance = 120 miles

initial distance= 60 miles

displacement= 120-60= 60 miles
