    1.) Total distance = 70 m

    2.) Total displacement = + 30m

    Explanation:

    Distance is a scaler quantity. That is, we will be concerned about its magnitude only and not direction.

    Total distance = 10 + 20 + 40 = 70 m

    While displacement is a vector quantity. We will consider both the magnitude and its direction.

    Forward direction will be positive while backward direction will be negative

    Total displacement = + 10 - 20 + 40

    Total displacement = + 30 m
