Question

An object is moving at 2.50 m/s [E]. At a time 3.00 seconds later the object is traveling at 1.50 m/s

Answer 1

Given parameters:

First velocity  = 2.50m/s

Time of travel = 3s

Second velocity  = 1.50m/s

Unknown:

The displacement during the first interval = ?

Velocity is the displacement of a body with time. Displacement is a distance move in a specific direction by a body.

    Velocity  = $\frac{Displacement}{Time taken}$

So;

      Displacement  = Velocity x Time taken

Now input the parameter for the first velocity and time of travel;

      Displacement  = 2.5 x 3  = 7.5m

The displacement id 7.5m
