1. A football coach starts at the 10-yard line and walks to the 40-yard line.
So, the first part of his displacement is
D1 = 40 - 10 = 30 yards.
2. He turns around and walks to the 0 yard line.
Coach starts from the 40-yard line and walks to the 0 yard line, so his displacement is
D2 = 40 - 0 = 40 yards.
3. He turns once more and walks back to the 50 yard line.
Coach starts from the 0-yard line and walks to the 50-yard line, so his displacement is
D3 = 50 - 0 = 50 yards.
4. He turns around once more and walks back to the 25 yard line.
Coach starts from the 50-yard line and walks to the 25-yard line, so his displacement is
