Phylis Physics travels a displacement of 2.50 km north followed by 4.30 km south and then 1.40 km north. What is her final displacement? What total distance did she travel?

Her final displacement is 0.4 km North

Her total distance is  8.2 km

Explanation:

Given;

initial position, = 2.5 km north

then 4.3 km south

final position = 1.4 km north

let northward direction = positive direction

let southward direction = negative direction

The final displacement = 2.5 km North - 4.3 km South + 1.4 km North

The final displacement = -0.4 km North

Thus, the magnitude of the final displacement = 0.4 km North

In distance, the direction of the motion is not considered

The total distance = 2.5 km + 4.3 km + 1.4 km

The total distance = 8.2 km
