Answer 1

wrong

Answer 2

The term that describes how far an object has traveled from its original location is **distance**. However, it's important to note that "displacement" refers to the straight-line distance from the original location to the final position, considering direction. In the context of "how far an object has traveled," "distance" is the most appropriate choice.

Answer 3

I apologize for any confusion. The most appropriate term for how far an object has traveled from its original location, considering the total path taken (regardless of direction), is indeed **distance**.

However, if you are specifically asking about the difference between the starting position and the ending position (which includes direction), the correct answer would be **displacement**.

Thank you for the clarification. If you need further assistance, please let me know!
