A student on her way to school walks eastward in a straight line 20.0 meters towards the bus stop, but realizes she dropped her physics notebook along the way and turns around to retrace her steps. She has traveled back 18.0 meters before finding it and then runs the remaining 45.0 meters due east to the bus stop. What is her total displacement? What is her total distance traveled?

    Total displacement will be 47 meter

    Total distance will be 83 meters

    Explanation:

    We have given that first the student go eastward towards bus stop 20 meters

    But he realizes that she dropped his physics notebook and so h=she turns back along the same way up to 18 meters

    So displacement = 20-18 = 2 meters

    And he travel 45 meters in east along the bus stop so total displacement = 45+2 = 47 meters

    Total distance traveled by the student = 20+18+45 = 83 meters
