A car, with an initial position of x=83.2 meters, undergo as a displacement of -153.0 meters.
What is its final position?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The final position is -69.8 m

Explanation:

Recall that displacement is defined as:

[tex]displacement=x_f-x_i[/tex]

where [tex]x_f[/tex] represents the final position, and [tex]x_i[/tex] the initial position of the object (in our case 83.2 m). Since we also know the displacement (-153 m), we can solve the equation for the final position:

[tex]displacement=x_f-x_i\\-153=x_f-83.2\\-153+83.2=x_y\\x_f=-69.8\,\,m[/tex]
