[QUOTE="kristie, post: 2286543, member: 212120"] Yes you are correct--- Distance is simply rate x time, or in other words magnitude Displacement involves both direction and magnitude In this case, total distance traveled and displacement are not equal to each other. Distance traveled = rate x time Distance traveled = (30)(600) + (40)(1200) <=== Note time converted to seconds Distance = 66000 m (or 66 km) Total net displacement Set North as positive direction Displacement = (+ 30)(600) + (-40)(1200) Displacement = -30000 (or 30 km) Since displacement is negative, the displacement is 30 km South.
