Answer 2

The displacement of a car is given -210 m. Here, the negative sign indicates the movement of the car in the opposite direction.

• Displacement is defined as the shortest distance between the initial and final position of an object.
• For example, if a person is moving from point A to point B covering 4 km, and then moving from B to C covering 3 km. Then, the displacement will be AC that is 5 km.
• The sign before any number shows the direction of the movement of an object. If an object is moving ahead, the displacement will be positive and if it is moving in the opposite direction it will be negative.

So, in this case, the negative sign indicates the movement in the backward direction.
