Question
**Question: Particle Movement and Displacement** A particle moves along the x-axis from \( x_i \) to \( x_f \). Of the following values of the initial and final coordinates, **which results in a negative displacement?** - \( x_i = -4 \, m, \, x_f = 2 \, m \) - \( x_i = -4 \, m, \, x_f = -2 \, m \) - \( x_i = 4 \, m, \, x_f = 6 \, m \) - \( x_i = 8 \, m, \, x_f = 4 \, m \) - \( x_i = -4 \, m, \, x_f = 4 \, m \) - \( \text{none of these} \) *Note: Displacement is defined as the change in position of the particle, calculated as \( \Delta x = x_f - x_i \). A negative displacement indicates that the final position is less than the initial position.*
