A car travels along a straight road 100 m east then 50 m west. Find distance and displacement of the car.

Given parameters:

    First move = 100m east

    Second move  = 50m west

Unknown:

Distance = ?

Displacement  = ?

Solution:

Distance is total path length covered

Displacement is the distance in a specific direction from start to finish.

            →

                       100m

                            ←

                               50m

So,

        Distance  = first move + second move  = 100 + 50  = 150m

       Displacement  = 100 - 50  = 50m due West

both graphs increase on their domain

neither graph has a y-intercept

step-by-step explanation:

the following points can be visualized easily from the graph

step-by-step explanation:   divide the numerator by the denominator to get the decimal

it would still be 193

if divide by 100 then 1.93

i am not sure
