Problem

An automated cart starts at the origin of a straight warehouse aisle that extends along the positive xx-axis. The cart executes the following sequence of moves: • 5.0 m forward • 3.0 m backward • 2.0 m forward • 10.0 m backward • 6.0 m forward The entire motion takes 8.0 s. Which of the following ordered pairs gives the total distance traveled and the magnitude of the displacement for the cart’s trip? (a) (26 m,  6 m)(26\ \text{m},\;6\ \text{m}) (b) (0 m,  26 m)(0\ \text{m},\;26\ \text{m}) (c) (26 m,  0 m)(26\ \text{m},\;0\ \text{m}) (d) (26 m,  26 m)(26\ \text{m},\;26\ \text{m})
