Recall

Distance, displacement and average velocity — objective 1

Maths4U Original · Short practice

A particle moves along a straight line, 12 m to the right in 6 s, then 8 m to the left in 5 s. Take right as positive.

Find its total displacement in m.

Enter one exact number or fraction unless the question specifies rounding. Use the requested units and positive direction; enter the number without its unit. Angles here use degrees. Give full reasoning separately for written problems.
