indicate the direction and select the total displacement of A caterpillar tries to climb straight up a wall two meters high, but for every 2 cm up it climbs, it slides down 1 cm. Eventually, it reaches the top. When it reaches the top, it does not pull itself over so it will slide down 1 cm.

well, geez. The wall is 2m high. At the end the bug slides down 1 cm. So, he ends up 199cm from the foot of the wall.

Not much of a physics problem.
