Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that;

Speed = Distance/time

Distance = Speed * time

Speed = 200 km/h

Time = 4 hours

Distance = 200 km/h * 4 hours = 800 kilometres

Displacement has to do with distance covered in a specified direction, in this case, the direction is towards Zambales.

Hence, the displacement is 800 kilometres towards Zambales.
