Question
From the displacement-time graph of a cyclist given below in the Figure, find The displacement from the initial position at the end of 10 s,
Advertisements
Solution
Initial position = 0 m
Final position at the end of 10 s = -10m
Displacement = Final position - Initial position
= (-10) m - 0
= -10 m
