The distance traveled by the soccer ball is the total path it covered, which is the sum of the distances it traveled forward and backward.
Distance = Distance Forward + Distance Backward
= 15 m + 7 m
= 22 m
The displacement of the soccer ball is a vector quantity that represents the straight-line distance and direction from the starting point to the final position.
Since the soccer ball returned to its original position, the displacement is zero.
Displacement = 0 m
You soccer ball is kick forward 15 m and then hit back with 7 m. What is the distance and displacement of the soccer ball
