Question

Can displacement of a body be negative?


Open in App
Solution

Yes, displacement can be negative because it is a vector quantity and depends on the direction.

For example, if we are moving in the North direction and at the same time, a car is moving in the South direction. Then, the displacement of the car moving in the South direction is negative.
