If you have swam one lap in a swimming pool, that means you have swam from one end to the other and back. In 3.5 h, a swimmer makes exactly 86 laps in a swimming pool that is 43 m long. Determine the distance the swimmer traveled, the total displacement of the swimmer, the swimmer's average velocity, and the swimmer's average speed.

So if you have swum one 43 laps, you end at the place you started. your displacement is zero.
average velocity: zero
distance: 86*43*2

average speed: distance/time
If you have swam one lap in a swimming pool, that means you have swam from one end to the other and back. In 3 h, a swimmer makes exactly 30 laps in a swimming pool that is 30 m long. Determine the distance the swimmer traveled, the total displacement of the swimmer, the swimmer's average velocity, and the swimmer's average speed.
