Answer:
the velocity of the car is 0.875 m/s
Explanation:
therefore the V of car is 0.875 m
The total displacement is equal to the total distance. For the east or E direction, the distance is determined using the equation:
d = vt = (22 m/s)(12 s) = 264 m
For the west or W direction, we use the equations:
a = (v - v₀)/t
d = v₀t + 0.5at²
Because the object slows down, the acceleration is negative. So,
-1.2 m/s² = (0 m/s - 22 m/s)/t
t = 18.33 seconds
d = (22 m/s)(18.33 s) + 0.5(-1.2 m/s²)(18.33 s)²
d = 201.67 m
Thus,
Total Displacement = 264 m + 201.67 m = 465.67 or approximately 4.7×10² m.
Since you didn't provide how tall the Monument was, I took the liberty to find it and it is 555 feet tall. So to convert to meters we must divide 555 by 3.28 or multiply it by 0.3048 (this is the method I used).
555 x 0.3048 = 169.164 meters
B. +Q, + W are the correct sign
