Question

An object begins x=75.2 m and undergoes a displacement of -48.7 m. what is its final position?

Answer 1

Answer:

26.5 m

Explanation:

$x_{o}$ = initial position of the object = 75.2 m

$x$  = final position of the object

$d$  = displacement of the object = - 48.7  

Displacement of the object is given as the difference of final and initial position of the object

$d = x - x_{o}$

Inserting the values

- 48.7 = x - 75.2

x = 26.5 m
