Distance and displacement

The video tutorial explains the difference between distance and displacement using a practical example. A person moves in a path covering 30 meters north, 60 meters east, and 30 meters south. The total distance covered is 120 meters in 60 seconds. The displacement is the direct line from start to end, measuring 60 meters eastward. The average velocity is calculated as 1 meter per second eastward.

What is the total distance covered by the person?

How long did it take for the person to cover the total distance?

What does the direct line between point A and point D represent?

What is the value of the displacement in meters?

Calculate the average velocity of the person in meters per second.
