Jake walks to the taco's place for lunch.He walked 1 km east and stopped to pin his location.Then he continued for 2 km west to get to the pizza place.What distance did he cover?What was his displacement?
Assuming he is starting at 0 and walking 1 km east, then walks 2 km west, that would be 1 -2 because he walked in the opposite direction and was 1 kmfrom his staring point.
