when solving for the distance using the formula, is it possible to obtain a negative value?

Sagot :

Answer:

not. distance must be in Absolute value.

Answer:

Distance cannot be negative, and never decreases. Distance is a scalar quantity, or a magnitude, whereas displacement is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction. It can be negative, zero, or positive.

The word distance means how far the object moves regardless of direction. It is always positive and is equal to the absolute value, or magnitude, of the displacement.
