Answer 1

Answer:

displacement is 6 m and distance is 18m

hope this helps u..

Answer 2

Answer:

distance = 6+12 = 18m

taking north direction as positive so south direction becomes negative.

note - displacement can be negative but distance can never be negative as it is scalar quantity.

displacement - 6+(-12)

= -6 or 6 m in South direction.
