0 meters
1.5 meters
3 meters
7 meters

Answer 1

1.5 meters plato users ;)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The displacement of the particle in the time interval 5 seconds to 8 seconds will be 1.5 meters.
Displacement is a vector quantity; meaning it has both magnitude and direction; magnitude being the distance between the interval at 5 seconds and position at 8 seconds, while the direction is from position at 5 second to position at 8 second. This is irrespective of the route followed during the time interval.
