Answer:

the total distance is 5km and the displacement is 1km

Explanation:

The total distance would be the addition of John running both ways so 3 km, 2 km.

However since he only walked back from a distance of 3 km to 2 km, he would be displaced 1 km because displacement is more like the position from the original point.

Think about 2 km as a positive value for the first part of the question and a negative value for the second part.
