Question

Kylee is running on the track. She starts off at the 200m line and runs to the 800 m line. She realizes she forgot her watch so she turns around and runs to the 450m line when she realizes it was in her pocket. What was her total displacement?

Answer 1

250m towards the starting point

Step-by-step explanation:

Displacement is the distance from start to finish with directional orientation of a body.

Start Finish

200m → 800m

Her total displacement would be = 450m - 200m = 250m

Displacement is therefore 250m towards the starting point
