Answer:
- 7m
Explanation:
Given that an an object placed at 5m undergoes a displacement of -12m,
Displacement is the distance covered in a specific direction.
Displacement is a vector quantity. That is, it has both magnitude and direction.
The displacement of the object will be achieved by adding 5m to negative 21 metres.
5 - 12 = - 7m
When the object is 12 metres displaced in a negative direction, it will be located at the point 7 metres in the negative x axis
Therefore, the object will end up at -7m
