The total distance covered is 24 Km and Peter was not moving between the points marked 10 mins and 30 mins on the graph. His displacement according to the graph is zero.
The distance time graph shows the distance covered plotted on the vertical axis against the time taken plotted on the horizontal axis. Using this graph, the total distance covered can easily be obtained.
The total distance covered is 12 km + 12 km since equal distance was covered to and fro. Hence the total distance covered is 24 km. Perter was not moving between the points marked 10 mins and 30 mins on the graph.
