Expert Solution
Step 1: Given data

The motion of an ant along x-axis from A to B to C to D.

The point O is origin.

The distances are as

 A B equals 44 space cmB C equals 20 space cm and A O equals 4 space cm

Find:

(a) Displacement when the ant moves from C to D.

(b) Distance the ant moved over the interval from C to D.
