Question

a car starts at a position of -153m and undergoes a displacement of 512m. What is it's final position

Answer 1

Final position = 359.

Explanation:

Given : A car starts at a position of -153 m and undergoes a displacement of 512 m.

To find : What is it's final position

Solution : We have given that

Car start from point ( initial position) = -153 m .

Displacement = 512 m

We need to find final position .

Displacement = final position - initial position .

Plug the values initial position = -153 m and displacement = 512 m

512 = final point - (-153 ).

512 = final position + 153 .

On subtracting both sides by 153 .

512 - 153 = final position ,

359

Therefore, Final position = 359.

Answer 2

+359 m

Explanation:

Add the displacement to the initial position to find the final position:

-153 m + 512 m = 359 m
