Answer:
16 cm
Explanation:
Given that,
The object begins from 0 and moves 3cm towards left side followed by 7 cm towards the right and then, 6 cm towards the left side.
Let the x-axis to be the +ve and on the right side and -ve on the left
Thus, displacement would be:
= 0 -3 + 7 -6
= -2 cm
This implies that the object displaces 2cm towards the left.
While the total distance covered by the object equal to,
= 0cm + 3cm + 7cm + 6cm
= 16 cm
Thus, 16 cm is the total distance.
