Answer 1

Jennifer runs 5 miles east, then stops to take a break. after her break, she continues running 4 more miles east.

In this the total distance she covers is 9 miles and the total displacement is also the same as the distance that is 9 miles.

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final position, or we can say it is the straight-line distance between initial and final position.

Whereas distance is considered as the total path length covered from initial position till the final position. The Displacement of a body is always less than or equal to the distance.

Displacement can be zero in case the initial and final positions coincide, but distance can never be zero.
