Question

a cyclist travels from point a to point b, covering a distance of 4 kilometers east. the cyclist then turns and travels 3 kilometers north to point c. after a brief rest, the cyclist travels 4 kilometers west to point d and finally 3 kilometers south back to point a. which statements correctly describe the scenario above? select two correct answers. the total distance traveled by the cyclist is 14 kilometers. the cyclist ends up 4 kilometers north of the starting point after completing the journey. the displacement of the cyclist after the entire journey is zero. the average speed of the cyclist for the entire trip is zero, since the displacement is zero.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total distance

Add up the distances of each part of the journey: $4 + 3+4 + 3=14$ kilometers. So the total distance traveled is 14 kilometers.

Step2: Analyze displacement

The cyclist starts and ends at the same point (Point A). Displacement is the straight - line distance from the initial to the final position. Since the initial and final positions are the same, the displacement is 0.

Answer:

The total distance traveled by the cyclist is 14 kilometers; The displacement of the cyclist after the entire journey is zero.
