Your family is going to drive to your grandma's house for Christmas dinner. You set the car's odometer to 0 before you leave. When you arrive, the odometer reads 42.6 miles. Looking at a map, you see the direct, straight-line distance is 30 miles due east. When you return home, what will be your distance and displacement for the round trip, in that order?

Answer:

Distance = 85.3 miles

displacement = 0

Explanation:

The total distance covered to grandma's house is 42.6 miles as recorded by the odometer. The same distance would be covered when returning to the base. Hence;

Total distance for the round trip = 42.6 + 42.6 = 85.2 miles

Since the trip was a round trip, the displacement is zero because the family returned to their initial location.
