1. A particle moved from point A to point B on the x-axis and had a positive displacement. Which one of the following is true?
a. particle moved in the positive direction but it is on the negative side of the x-axis
b. particle moved in the negative direction but it is on the negative side of the x-axis
c. particle moved in the negative direction but it is on the positive side of the x-axis
a is the only possible correct answer with postive displacement.
That's what I figured but I wasn't sure because it talks about the negative side of the x-axis. However, looking at the question again, a) is the only answer that makes sense.
Thank you.
