Problem

A runner starts from point O, runs 200 m200\,\text{m} due east to point A, and then turns back to stop at point B, which is 50 m50\,\text{m} east of O. Which statement correctly compares the distance travelled and the displacement of the runner? a) Distance =150 m=150\,\text{m}, Displacement =50 m=50\,\text{m} east b) Distance =350 m=350\,\text{m}, Displacement =150 m=150\,\text{m} east c) Distance =350 m=350\,\text{m}, Displacement =50 m=50\,\text{m} east d) Distance =350 m=350\,\text{m}, Displacement =0=0
