Respuesta :

displacement is the shortest distance travelled...

hence in this case the displacement will simply be 12m

Answer:

d = -12 m

Explanation:

Displacement is defined as change in the position of the object

it is the shortest distance between initial and final position of the object

so it is given as

[tex]\vec d = \vec r_2 - \vec r_1[/tex]

now we have

[tex]\vec r_2 = -12 m[/tex]

[tex]\vec r_1 = 0[/tex]

so we have

[tex]\vec d = (-12 m) - (0)[/tex]

so the displacement would be -12 m

it is 12 m in magnitude with negative direction displacement
