Question

The following position vs time graph shows the motion of an object along its path from -10 to seconds. Based on this graph, what is the displacement of the object (its final position minus its initial position) along the entire 25 second span of time?
A: 10m
B: 0m
C: -5m
D: -10m

Answer 1

∆x (displacement) = v - u

where, v is the final position and u is the initial position.

Given, the final position of the object is 0 m and the initial position is 5 m.

∆x (displacement) = v - u

= 0 m - 5 m

= -5 m

Therefore, C: -5m is the correct answer.
