I am doing some practice problems and need help with this one and this riddle has me thinking please help me with this and share your insights thanks
Vanshree Is currently stuck on a straight line, as shown below. In other words, her motion is in 1-dimenslon. She walks along that straight line a distance of 3.0 m in 2 seconds, and another 3.0 m along that same straight line in the next 1 second. Then she stops. I think we can agree that she walked a total distancr of 6 m Vanshree's original position But, how far is she from where she started? Would vour answer change if vou were told that Vanshree's displacement was + 3.0 m in the irst 2 seconds and-3.0 m in the last 1 second? In 2-3 thoughtful and complete sentences, discuss how your answers for Vanshree's final pasition would be the same or dirferent If you are given displacerments rather than distances, If you are puzzled, please be specific about what puzzles you.
