Question

If you run around the house randomly and then end up back where you started moving a total of 44 meters what is distance and what is change in position

Answer 1

Distance = 44 m

Change in position = 0 m

Explanation:

Given:

Running around the house covering a total length of 44 m and reaching the same position where you started.

So, initial position is same as final position.

Change in position is given as:

Change = Final position - Initial position

Now, since, final position = Initial position.

So, Change in position = 0 m

Now, distance is the total length of the path covered. So, you started from your initial position and ran around the house covering a path length of 44 m before reaching the same starting position.

Therefore, the distance is equal to the path length and hence is equal to 44 meters
