15m east stopped and covered another 25m east. Displacement

To find the total displacement, we can simply consider the straight line in which the movements occurred, as displacement is the shortest distance from the initial position to the final position, along with the direction. In this case: 1. The first movement is 15 meters east. 2. The second movement is another 25 meters east. To compute the total displacement: - The initial position after the first movement is 15 meters east. - After the second movement, the total distance covered east is \(15 \, \text{m} + 25 \, \text{m} = 40 \, \text{m}\). Thus, the total displacement is **40 meters east**.
