The difference in the displacement from the starting point to 2 s and from 2 s to 5 s is
Correct answer: B. 1.5 m
- A. 1 m
- B. 1.5 m
- C. 2.5 m
- D. 5 m
Explanation
To find the difference in displacement, calculate the displacement from the starting point to 2 seconds and then from 2 seconds to 5 seconds. The correct difference is 1.5 m, which is the change in position between these intervals. Options A, C, and D represent incorrect calculations or assumptions about the displacement difference.

About Displacement and Velocity
Displacement is the directed change in position, while velocity is the rate of change of displacement and includes both magnitude and direction. The topic connects position-time and velocity-time graphs with average and instantaneous values, and distinguishes displacement from distance and velocity from speed.
