An athlete runs two-thirds of the way around a circular track of radius 50 m. Determine (a.) her displacement relative to her start point, and (b.) her total distance traveled.
A car travels along a straight east-west road. A coordinate system is established on the road, with x increasing to the east. The car ends up 14 mi west of the origin, which is defined as the intersection with Mulberry Road. If the car's displacement was - 21 mi , how far from the intersection was the car at the start?

- Jill sets out from her home to deliver flyers for her yard sale, traveling due east (+x) along her street lined with houses. After going 500 m she runs out of flyers and has to retrace her steps back to her house to get more. After picking up more flyers, she sets out again on the same path, continuing where she left off, and ends up 1000 m from her house. At this point she turns back toward her house, heading west (-x). After 1750 m she stops to get ice cream (Draw pictures to help with your calculations.) What is Jill’s total displacement to the point where she stops to get ice cream?
