Question

An object begins x=75.2 m and undergoes a displacement of -48.7 m. what is its final position?

Answer 1

26.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

`x_(o)` = initial position of the object = 75.2 m

`x` = final position of the object

`d` = displacement of the object = - 48.7

Displacement of the object is given as the difference of final and initial position of the object

`d = x - x_(o)`

Inserting the values

- 48.7 = x - 75.2

x = 26.5 m
