Answer:
2 m
Explanation:
The displacement of any body is the shortest distance in an object's path between its initial and final point.
The ball would travel 3 m from the point of throwing then fall down 5 m to the ground. The total distance traveled is 7 m.
The displacement of the ball will be the distance from the point of throwing to the ground i.e., 2 m as it is the shortest distance between the initial and final point of the ball's journey.
Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.
