Answer:
The total displacement = 3cm toward
I.e -3cm from the starting point.
Explanation
- we shall take right as + and left as –
- so every cm the object moves right it is denoted as +cm
- every cm the object moves left it is denoted as – cm
Procedure
- -3+7-6-1
- on solving this expression using a diagram we get
- –3cm
We know –3cm is 3 cm towards left with taking the starting or the initial point as the reference point.
