What do you mean by distance?

While distance and displacement appear to signify the same thing, they actually have very different definitions and meanings. A scalar quantity known as distance measures "how much ground an object has traversed" while moving. An object's total change in position is referred to as displacement, a vector variable that measures "how far out of place an object is." Therefore it can be understood that distance measures the length between two objects without describing its direction. Hence distance is a scalar quantity(having no direction, it only has magnitude)

45 mph = 0.0201168 kmps

So distance covered in 1 sec is 0.0201168 km

So distance covered in 4s is 4 * 0.0201168 = 0.0804672km = 80.4672m
