Alejandro's Walking Distance and Velocity

Calculating Total Distance, Velocity, and Displacement

Total Distance: The total distance traveled by Alejandro is 500 meters. To find the total distance, we add the distance traveled in one direction (250 meters) to the distance traveled back to the starting point (also 250 meters).

Velocity: The velocity of Alejandro can be calculated by dividing the distance he traveled (500 meters) by the total time taken (12 minutes or 720 seconds). This results in a velocity of approximately 0.694 m/s.

Displacement: The displacement of Alejandro is zero since he returns to his starting point, which means his starting and ending positions are the same.

Therefore, Alejandro traveled a total distance of 500 meters in 12 minutes. His velocity was approximately 0.694 m/s, and his displacement was zero.
