Question

An object started at

x = -22 meters and undergoes
a displacement of -10.4 meters.
What is its final position?
(Unit = m)

Answer 1

According to me, I think this is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

initial position= -22 meters.

this indicates that object is in the negative direction as a negative sign is used to represent the location.

displacement is indicated as -10.4 meters. this is also in the negative direction.

initial + displacement= final

= -22 + (-10.4)

= -32.4 meters

this would be the final position, away from the origin.

displacement is a vector quantity; both magnitude and direction matter.
