Answer :

Hey, I got you covered! Let's break it down.

Distance is the total length traveled, regardless of direction. So, to find the distance, you add the magnitudes of the initial and final positions: 5.0 m + 10.0 m = 15.0 meters.

Displacement is the change in position from start to end, considering direction. Since the person went from 5.0 m West to 10.0 m East, you calculate the displacement by subtracting the initial position from the final position: 10.0 m - 5.0 m = 5.0 meters to the East.

Therefore, the final distance moved is 15.0 meters, and the displacement is 5.0 meters to the East. Hope that helps!
