Question

From the displacement-time graph of a cyclist, given in figure, find the displacement from the initial position at the end of \(10\) s.

Answer 1

Here, Initial position of the cyclist is \(0~\text{m}\),
Final position of the cyclist at \(t=10~\text{s}\) is \(-10 ~\text{m}\).
We know, Displacement, \(S=\) final position- initial position
Displacement, \(S=-10 m-0 m=-10 m\)
Hence, displacement at the end of \(10 ~\text{s}\) is \(-10 ~\text{m}\).
