Question

Heather and Matthew walk with an average velocity of 0.98 m/s eastward. If it takes them 34 min to walk to the store, what is their displacement?

Answer 1

Answer:

D= 1999.2 m

Explanation:

Given that

Average velocity ,v= 0.98 m/s

time ,t= 34 min

We know that

1 min  = 60 s

That is why

t= 34 x 60 =2040 s

We know that

Displacement = Average velocity x time

D= v t

Now by putting the values in the above equation

D= 0.98 x 2040 m

D= 1999.2 m (eastward)

The direction of the displacement will be towards eastward.

That is why the displacement will be 1999.2 m or we can say that 1.9992 km.
