  1. 1.

    A robotic sensor on a straight pipeline monitoring track starts at position x = -15 m, travels forward to x = +25 m to inspect a valve, and then reverses direction to stop at x = +5 m to log data. What are the robot's net displacement and total distance traveled during this entire inspection run?

    • A) Displacement: +60 m; Total distance: 20 m
    • B) Displacement: -20 m; Total distance: 60 m
    • C) Displacement: +40 m; Total distance: 40 m
    • D) Displacement: +20 m; Total distance: 60 m
