45 km east and turned around and went 90 m west. In km what is the distance and displacement

To determine the distance and displacement of the journey described, let's break it down: 1. **Distance**: This is the total path length traveled regardless of direction. - First part of the journey: 45 km east - Second part of the journey: 90 m west (which is 0.09 km) Total distance = 45 km + 0.09 km = 45.09 km 2. **Displacement**: This is the straight-line distance from the starting point to the ending point, considering the direction. - Starting point = 0 km - After traveling 45 km east, you are at +45 km. - After traveling 90 m (0.09 km) west, you subtract that distance from the east position: Displacement = 45 km - 0.09 km = 44.91 km east ### Summary: - **Distance**: 45.09 km - **Displacement**: 44.91 km east
