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 from 0 if an object moves 3 cm to the left, then 7 cm to the right, and then 6 cm to the left.The object moves cm to the left.What is the total distance the object travels? cm

    Answer:

    16 cm

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    The object begins from 0 and moves 3cm towards left side followed by 7 cm towards the right and then, 6 cm towards the left side.

    Let the x-axis to be the +ve and on the right side and -ve on the left

    Thus, displacement would be:

    = 0 -3 + 7 -6

    = -2 cm

    This implies that the object displaces 2cm towards the left.

    While the total distance covered by the object equal to,

    = 0cm + 3cm + 7cm + 6cm

    = 16 cm

    Thus, 16 cm is the total distance.
