1. stan walks 100 m east to the grocery store. he shops then walks back 50 m east back to his house. what distance did he cover? what was his displacement?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total distance covered

To find the total distance, we add the distance to the store and the distance back. The distance to the store is 150 km (assuming "jillon" is a typo for 150) and back is 150 km. So total distance = 150 + 150 = 300 km.

Step2: Calculate displacement

Displacement is the straight - line distance from the starting point to the ending point. Since Stan starts at his house, goes 150 km east, and then 150 km west back to his house, the displacement is 150 - 150 = 0 km (east and west are opposite directions, so we subtract the magnitudes when calculating displacement).

Answer:

The distance covered is 300 km and the displacement is 0 km.
