Question

A blue line with 5 orange tick marks then one red tick mark then 4 orange tick marks. The number zero is above the red tick mark. 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 1

The total displacement of the toy car at the given positions is 0.

The given parameters;

• First displacement of the car, = 5 cm left
• Second displacement of the car, = 8 cm right
• Third displacement of the car, = 3 cm to the left

The total displacement of the car is calculated as follows;

• Let the left direction be "negative direction"
• Let the right direction be "positive direction"

$\Delta x = - \ 5\ cm \ + \ 8 \ cm \ - \ 3 \ cm \\\\\Delta x = 0$

Thus, the total displacement of the toy car at the given positions is 0.
