After a displacement of 17 m, a train on a straight track is at the position xf = –2.5 m what was the train’s initial position?

Explanation:

Given that,

Displacement of the train,

Final position of the train, \

To find,

The initial position of the train.

Solution,

The displacement of an object is the shortest path covered. We know that,

Displacement = final position - initial position

Put all the values,

So,

The initial position of the train is .

Explanation:

As we know that the displacement is defined as the change in the position.

So we will have

here we know that

displacement = 17 m

initial position = ?

final position is given as

so we have

this allows people to make the best decision or pursue the best option. when alternatives are weighed using their advantages and disadvantages, the option whose disadvantages outweigh the advantages (based on a qualitative or quantitative analysis) are shunned while those whose advantages outweigh their disadvantages are pursued.
