The distance is 0 because she is where she started the displacement is 10km as that is the total distance away she traveled.

The displacement of the woman at 6:25 pm is zero (0) while her total distance at 6:25 pm is 20 km.

The given parameters;

  • distance between the woman's house and her office, d = 10 km
  • time to reach her office = 20 minutes
  • time to return to her house = 25 minutes

Displacement is defined as the change in the position of an object. It can be described as 'how far' an object is displaced from the initial position.

  • The first position of the woman, x₁ = 10 km to office
  • The final position of the woman, x₂ = 10 km back home

The woman's displacement = x₂ - x₁ = 10 km - 10 km = 0

Distance is the total path covered by an object during motion.

Total distance of the woman at 6:25 pm = 10 km + 10 km = 20 km

Thus, we can conclude that the displacement of the woman at 6:25 pm is zero (0) while her total distance at 6:25 pm is 20 km.
