Question

Students are learning a new dance. The students move forward 2.0 meters and tap their feet. Then they move backward 1.0 meter and clap their hands. Finally, they move 0.5 meter forward and stop. What is the displacement of the dancers from their starting part

Answer 1

1.5 meters

Explanation:

they first move forward 2 meters and then move backwards 1 meter (1 meter from their starting point, and then they move forward 0.5 meters. So the displacement of the dancers from their starting point is 1.5 meters.

0 + 2 = 2

2 - 1 = 1

1 + 0.5 = 1.5

hope this helps!
