Answer:

Explanation:

Displacement involves direction and distance.  In this case, the deer has walked a distance of 17 + 12 = 29m but because of the South-then-North direction, the net displacement is only 17-12 = 5m.

So the answer is A)   5.0 m, 29.0 m
  • South=17m
  • North=12m

Displacement:-

  • 17-12=5m

Distance:-

  • 17+12=29m
