Explanation:
It is given that,
Distance covered by the cart to the right is 2 m
Distance covered by the cart to the left is 1 m
We need to find the total distance rolled by the cart. Total distance is equal to the sum of the distances covered by an object. It does depend on the direction.
Total distance = 2 m + 1 m
D = 3 m
The cart rolled to a total distance of 3 m.
