Question
Which of the following value(s) can the displacement take?
- > 0
- < 0
- = 0
- All of the above
Hint:
All of the above
The correct answer is: All of the above
Displacement can be zero, positive (>0), and even negative (<0).
Justification:
When the initial and final point of an object is the same then the displacement will equal ZERO
When the object moves in a forwarding direction with reference to the initial point then the displacement will be POSITIVE
When the object moves in a backward direction with reference to the initial point then the displacement will be NEGATIVE.

Peter wants to modify the formula for acceleration
i.e., a = (v – u)/ t
Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t= time, a = acceleration, to suit the special case of freefall of a ball dropped from the top of a building. He chooses to make the following substitutions in the formula.
a. v= 0
b. u= 0
c. a= 9.8 m/s2
Identify the correct substitutions.
