Question

what is the cyclists displacement from the star to the flags? -12 km +4 km -4 km 20 km

Explanation:

Step1: Identify positions

The star (cyclist's start) is at \( x_1 = 6 \) km. The flags (end) are at \( x_2 = 2 \) km.

Step2: Calculate displacement

Displacement is \( \Delta x = x_2 - x_1 \). Substitute values: \( \Delta x = 2 - 6 = -4 \) km.

Answer:

-4 km
