Question

If Rebecca is traveling at 7 m/s east for 1 hour how much is Rebecca displaced

Answer 1

Answer:

25.2 km east

Explanation:

The relationship between velocity and displacement is given by:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where

v is the velocity

d is the displacement

t is the time

In this problem, we have:

$v=7 m/s$ east is Rebecca's velocity

$t=1 h=60 min=3600 s$ is the time taken

Re-arranging the equation, we can find Rebecca's displacement:

$d=vt=(7 m/s)(3600 s)=25,200 m=25.2 km$

and the direction is same as velocity (east)
