An object moves from the position +16m to the position +43m in 12s. what us the total displacement

First method

initial distance = 16m

final distance= 43 m

total distance covered= final -initial

                                     =43m -16m

                                     =27m

Second method

Si= 16m

Sf =43 m

t= 12 s

first we will find V

V =  (Sf-Si)/ t

V =( 43- 16)/ 12

V = 27/12  ⇒ V= 9/4

V= distance / time

distance= V×time

distance = (9/4) ×12

distance =27

thermal energy is the answer
