[QUOTE="talha, post: 2287057, member: 250361"] Displacement is the dicstance travelled from the point of start. its NOT the total distance travelled. EXAMPLE :If a car travels 40km to the left and then 50 km to the right (opposite direction) then total displacement is going to be 10km to the right cuz the distanc of car and origional point of start is just 10km. ------------------------------------------ so here's your solution: distance trvelled north: s = v* t = 30* 600 = 18000m distance travelled to sounth s = v*t = 40*1200 = 48000m Displacement = 48000- 18000 = 30000 m or 30km to the south.
