distance did he cover? What was his displacement?
2. Nicaria drives her scooter 10 kilometres north. She stops for lunch and then drives 5 kilometres
east. What distance did she cover? What was her displacement?
3. Ivan walks to the Wendy's for lunch. He walk 3km cast, then 2 km south and then 1 km east
again. What distance did he cover? What was his displacement?
4. On his fishing trip Joshua rides in a boat 15 km south. The fish aren't biting so they go 6 km
