a truck driver is attempting to deliver some furniture. first, he travels 8 km east, and then he turns around and travels 3 km west. finally, he turns again and travels 12 km east to his destination. what distance has the driver traveled?

The distance travelled by the truck driver is 25km and the displacement is 17km.The distance travelled by the driver in the east direction is 8 km.The distance travelled by the driver in the west direction is 3 km.The distance again travelled by the driver in the east direction is 12 km.a. The total distance is the actual path that we covers during the motion.Here, in this case,The distance = (8+3+12)kmDistance = 25km.Hence, the actual path or the distance is 25km.b. The displacement is the distance between the final and the initial position of the body,As we know,East and west directions are the opposite direction.So, assuming east to be positive direction and west to be negative direction,Initial position let us say is zero.Final position will be (8-3+12)kmFinal position = 17kmDisplacement = 17 km.To know more about Distance and displacement, visit,https://brainly.com/question/2109763#SPJ4Complete question - A truck driver is attempting to deliver some furniture.
