Question

A player on a soccer field walks 100 meters to the East, turns North and walks 150 meters, turns West and Walks 100 meters, and finally turns south and ONLY WALKS 100 meters. What is the TOTAL DISTANCE TRAVELED and what is the TOTAL DISPLACEMENT?

  1. Total Distance is 200 meters & the Total Displacement is 450 meters east.

  2. Total Distance is 350 meters & the Total Displacement is 74 meters.

  3. Total Distance is 25 meters & the Total Displacement is 100 meters to the east.

  4. Total Distance is 450 meters to the west & the Total Displacement is 50 meters to

    the NORTH.

  5. None of the above.
