The car is driven back 4.5 km in the opposite direction. What is thetotal distance covered by the car? What is the net displacement?2. The marathon runner jogged 2 km along a straight shoreline, rested, thencontinued in the same direction for another 2 km. Find the total distance anddisplacement he covered.amt beagels =insmeosiqeib sto= bSpeed, a scalar quantity refers to the rate of motion. It is the ratio of distancecovered and the time of travel. In equation,do19 elgmsedistancespeed =elapsed timeIn symbol:v:evioSpeed, therefore, refers to how fast the object is moving. It tells us that a fast-moving object has a high speed and covers a large distance in a short period of timewhile a slow-moving object that has a low speed covers a relatively small amount ofdistance in the same amount of time.Since speed is distance divided by time, speed is expressed in terms of the unitof distance and unit of time. The SI unit for distance is meter, and time is second.Thus, speed is expressed in meters per second or m/s. For vehicles, the standard unitfor speed is kilometers per hour or km/h (kph). In other countries such as USA, theyuse miles per hour or mph as unit of speed. What about the speed of ship? Are theyalso expressed in kph or mph? (No. Ship's speed is expressed in nautical per houror knots.)The average speed can be determined by dividing the total distance travelled by thetotal time of travel. In equation:Ave.speed =total distancetotal timo
