A honeybee leaves the hive, traveling at a speed of 4 mph and returns 1 hour later. What was the distance traveled and the displ

lesantik [10]

Answer:

Distance = 4 miles

Displacement = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Speed of honey bee = 4mph

Total travel time = 1 hour

Distance traveled by the honey bee:

Distance traveled = speed * time

Distance traveled = 4mph * 1 hour

Distance traveled = 4 miles

Displacement = 0 miles ; change in distance from initial position.

Since initial position of the honeybee is the beehive and its final position is the beehive. Hence, the change from its initial position is zero
