Group of answer choices
The player runs 5 meters forward and then runs 6 meters in the opposite direction.
The player runs 9 meters forward and then runs 0 meters in the opposite direction.
The player runs 6 meters forward and then runs 5 meters in the opposite direction.
The player runs 7 meters forward and then runs 7 meters in the opposite direction.
The player runs 7 meters forward and then runs 7 meters in the opposite direction.
The correct answer is: The player runs 5 meters forward and then runs 6 meters in the opposite direction.
To determine which situation describes a total distance of 0 meters traveled by the tennis player, we need to consider the distances the player runs and the directions they go in.
In the first situation, the player runs 5 meters forward and then 6 meters in the opposite direction. This results in a total distance of 5 meters + 6 meters = 11 meters.
In the second situation, the player runs 9 meters forward and then 0 meters in the opposite direction. The player has covered a total distance of 9 meters + 0 meters = 9 meters.
In the third situation, the player runs 6 meters forward and then 5 meters in the opposite direction. Here, the total distance covered is 6 meters + 5 meters = 11 meters.
In the fourth situation, the player runs 7 meters forward and then 7 meters in the opposite direction. The total distance traveled in this case is 7 meters + 7 meters = 14 meters.
After evaluating all the options, we find that the only situation in which the total distance traveled by the tennis player is 0 meters is the second situation where the player runs 9 meters forward and then 0 meters in the opposite direction.
