Suppose you went for a drive along a long, straight road that runs east-west. Let's define east to be the positive x direction. From your home, you drive east at 30 mi/hr to your friends house for 20 minutes, then at 48 mi/hr east for 10 minutes to the grocery store. Finally, you drive west at 60 mi/hr without stopping to get home. What is your displacement for the entire trip?
