Question

1. a golfer hits a ball from a golf tee at a position of 16.4 m w relative to the clubhouse. the ball comes to rest at a position of 64.9 m w relative to the clubhouse. determine the displacement of the golf ball

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula for displacement

Displacement $\Delta x=x_{f}-x_{i}$, where $x_{f}$ is the final position and $x_{i}$ is the initial position.

Step2: Substitute the given values

Given $x_{i} = 16.4\ m$ [W] and $x_{f}=64.9\ m$ [W].
$\Delta x=64.9 - 16.4$

Answer:

$48.5\ m$ [W]
