Assume each tick mark represents 1 cm.

Calculate the total displacement if a toy car starts at 0, moves 5 cm to the left, then 8 cm to the right, and then 3 cm to the left.

The car moves
cm, so there is no displacement.

Answer:

Displacement = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let left is negative and right is positive. The toy car starts at 0, moves 5 cm to the left, then 8 cm to the right, and then 3 cm to the left.

Net displacement = shortest path covered

D = 0 +(-5) + 8 + (-3)

D = 0

Hence, the car cover a displacement of 0. It means there is no displacement covered by the car.
