Question 1

Question
Can position be negative?
Answer
  • No, position is a magnitude and therefore always positive.
  • Yes, whether position is positive or negative depends on the choice of the origin and the definition of the positive direction.
  • Yes, position is always negative if you are to the left of the origin.
  • No, there is no such thing as negative space, so position must be positive.
