15m east stopped and covered another 25m east. what is the distance and displacement

To analyze the movement, we'll look at both distance and displacement. 1. **Distance** is a scalar quantity that measures the total path traveled, regardless of direction. - In this case, the total distance covered is: - The first segment: 15 m - The second segment: 25 m - Total distance = 15 m + 25 m = **40 m** 2. **Displacement** is a vector quantity that measures the change in position from the starting point to the ending point, taking direction into account. - Since both movements are in the same direction (east), the displacement will be the total distance traveled in that direction. - Initial position = 0 m (starting point) - Final position = 15 m (after the first movement) + 25 m (after the second movement) = 40 m (ending point) - Displacement = Final position - Initial position = 40 m - 0 m = **40 m east** **Summary:** - Distance = 40 m - Displacement = 40 m east
