Question 1 Report

A dog runs in a straight line to fetch a ball, waits, and then runs back to its owner. Fig. 1.1 shows the distance of the dog from its owner during the whole trip. What total distance does the dog run?

Answer Details

The correct answer is 36 m. The graph rises to 18 m (the run out) and then falls back to 0 (the run back), so the dog covers \(18+18=36\ \text{m}\) of ground. The value 0 m is the final displacement, not the distance run, and 18 m counts only the outward leg.
