Answer:
Distance: 75 km
Displacement: 45 km
Explanation:
- Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to the total space covered by an object. It is calculated as the sum of the distances covered in each motion, regardless of their direction. therefore in this case:
distance = 60 km + 15 km = 75 km
- Displacement is a vector quantity whose magnitude is equal to the difference between the final point and the starting point of the motion, so it also takes into account the direction of each motion. In this case, the truck moves 60 km east, and then 15 km west: if we call '0' the starting point, the final point will be then
And so the displacement is
