Problem

A toy car is initially at

x_i = +8\,\text{m}

relative to a tree. It then moves to

x_f = +3\,\text{m}

relative to the same tree. A new origin is chosen

5\,\text{m}

east of the tree. What is the displacement of the car expressed with respect to the new origin? a)

+5\,\text{m}

-5\,\text{m}

-2\,\text{m}

-10\,\text{m}
