Question

if a boat was moving at a velocity of 30 m/s to the south and it sailed for 30 minutes, what was the displacement of the boat?

Answer 1

If you move south at 30 m/s for 30 minutes, your displacement is

D = (30 mtr/s) x (30 min) x (60 sec/min)

D = (30 x 30 x 60) (mtr-min-sec/sec-min)

D =  54,000 meters south

D = 54 km south
