A boat moves 60 kilometers east from point A to point B. There, it reverses direction and travels another 45 kilometers toward point A. What are the total distance and total displacement of the boat?

Respuesta :

Total distance =  sum of the distances run:60 km + 45km = 105 km

Displacement: difference between iniital position and final position: 0 + [60km - 45km] = 15 km
