1. A sprinter runs 200 m west and then 100 m east. What is her

a. displacement?

b. distance?

100 m displacement east and total distance of 300 m

Explanation: Let's break this down, if the sprinter runs 200 meters west, then 100 meters east, than her displacement would be 100 meters east, since that deviates from her initial direction. Her total distance is the 200 meters west plus 100 meters east

A) her displacement would be 100m east and b) would be 300m
