(1,\,2)\,\text{m}

. Which statement describes the distance travelled and the displacement of the football at the end of the motion? a) Both distance and displacement are zero. b) Distance is

2\sqrt{41}\,\text{m}

while displacement is

\sqrt{41}\,\text{m}

. c) Distance is non–zero while displacement is zero. d) Both distance and displacement are equal and non-zero.
