A rabbit hops 25 meters to the East, turns North and walks 12 meters, turns West and hops 25 meters, and finally turns south and scampers 12 meters. What is the TOTAL DISTANCE TRAVELED and what is the TOTAL DISPLACEMENT?
-
Total Distance is 0 meters & the Total Displacement is 74 meters.
-
Total Distance is 74 meters & the Total Displacement is 0 meters.
-
Total Distance is 25 meters & the Total Displacement is 24 meters to the east.
-
Total Distance is 15 meters to the west & the Total Displacement is 24 meters to
the east.
-
None of the above.
Expert Solution
Step 1
A = 25 m east
B = 12 m north
C = 25 m west
D = 12 m south
(a) The total distance is
d = 25 + 12 + 25 + 12 = 74 m
