Question

The position time graph of a particle is shown.

Find the displacement in the time interval 0-10s​

Answer 1

Here the answer is 0 because first it goes 5m in the -ve direction then 5m in +ve direction so net dispacement is +5 + (-5)=0

Answer 2

Answer:

The displacement is 10 m in the time interval 0-10 s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time interval = 0 -10 s

Displacement :

Displacement is equal to the difference between the final position to the initial potion.

In mathematical form.

$D = P_{f}-P_{i}$

Where, $P_{i}$=initial position

$P_{f}$=final position

Put the value into the formula

$D=5-(-5)$

$D = 10\ m$

Hence, The displacement is 10 m in the time interval 0-10 s.
