Answer:
8.5m and 3.5m
Explanation:
In this problem, we are expected to solve/find the total distance traveled and also the displacement of the ball.
given that the initial height is 1.5m and was thrown to a height of 5m
the total distance covered when the ball falls to the ground
Note (see attached a rough sketch for the pictorial explanation)
1. The distance for A to B= 3.5 m
2. The distance from B to A= 3.5 m
3. The distance fro A to C= 1.5 m
the total distance is 3.5+3.5+1.5= 8.5m
the displacement is simply the difference between the final position and the initial position
displacent= 5-1.5= 3.5m
