Question 1172575: Rachel drove 300 miles to Philadelphia to visit her sister and then returned a week later. At the end of the trip, what was her displacement and distance traveled (in that order)?
The displacement is expected to be zero (assuming that Rachel returned to the same point
and assuming that we neglect the Earth orbiting around the Sun, as well as orbiting the Sun in the Galaxy :).
The traveled distance was 2*300 miles = 600 miles.
