Answer:

Agree

Explanation:

Distance is described as "how much ground an object is covered" in physics, and because the object is moving, no matter which direction, it is constantly gaining more distance. You can think of the object as a car, and as the car is moving down a highway it is gaining more and more distance as the seconds go by.

You might be confused with the term displacement, "how far out of place an object is" which in this case would be false.

Does that make sense?

<span>To begin, the mouse walks from 5 to 12 cm, for a displacement of 7 cm. Next, it walks 8 cm in the opposite direction, for a total displacement of (7 + [-8]) or (-1) cm. This leaves the mouse on 4 cm, and then it walks from there to the 7cm location, for a displacement of 7-4 or +3 cm. Adding 3cm to -1cm gives a final displacement of +2cm.</span>
