The diagram shows a position-time graph.
A graph titled Position versus Time shows time in seconds on the x-axis, numbered 0 to 5, and position in meters on the y-axis, numbered 0 to 4. A straight line starts at (0, 0), slants upward to (2, 2), and slants downward to (4, 0).
What is the displacement of the object?
–2 m
–1 m
3 m
4 m

Answer: -2 m.
Reason: From t = 2 s the position is 2 m and at t = 4 s it is 0 m, so displacement = x(4) − x(2) = 0 − 2 = −2 m. (If you instead meant from t = 0 to t = 4, the displacement would be 0 m.)
