Displacement The displacement of a particle is defined as its change in position. x (m) -6 -4 -2 0 2 4 6 Dx = x - xo = 6 m - 2 m = 4 m (West)
Displacement The displacement of a particle is defined as its change in position. x (m) -6 -4 -2 0 2 4 6 Dx = x - xo = -4 m-2m = -4 m (East) Dx = x - xo = 6 m -2 m = 4 m (west) distance =? ….travels 2m to 6m = 4m, then travels from 6m to -4m, which is 10m Total distance x = 14m
