173 correction on quiz 5.4
Hats off to the alert student who asked if I really meant net distance. No, because net distance would be the same as displacement. What I should have said is total distance. If I rode my bike from home to school and back home, my displacement, or net distance, would be zero, but I would credit myself with at least seventeen miles ridden that day.
