Answer:

Explanation:

The initial position of the ball = - 5 .0 m from the hole .

It is negative because , direction towards the hole is positive so direction from the hole will be negative .

Final position of the ball = 0 m from the hole .

Displacement of the ball = Final position - Initial position

= 0 - ( - 5 ) = 5 .0 m

Displacement = + 5 m
