A ball is rolled uphill a distance of 5 meters before it slows, stops and begins to roll back. The ball rolls downhill 6 meters before coming to a rest against a tree. What is the ball's displacement?

Respuesta :

We can calculate the displacement using the following formula:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \Delta x=x_f-x_i \\ Where: \\ x_f=Final_{\text{ }}position \\ x_i=Initial_{\text{ }}position \\ so: \\ \Delta x=6m-5m=1m \end{gathered}[/tex]

Answer:

1 m
