Question

An object moves from position x = -1.88 m to x = -4.27 m. What was its displacement? (Unit = m)

Answer 1

Displacement is change in the position of object

so we can define it as

`d = x_f - x_i`

`x_f = - 4.27 m`

`x_i = -1.88 m`

now displacement is given as

`d = -4.27 - (-1.88) = -2.39 m`

so it will displace by 2.39 m in negative direction
