Question

It takes you 11.3 minutes to walk an average velocity of 1.2 m/s tothe north from the bus stop to the museum entrance. What is yourdisplacement?

Answer 1

Given data:

* The time taken by object is,

$\begin{gathered} t=11.3\text{ min} \\ t=\text{ 678 s} \end{gathered}$

* The velocity given is,

$v=1.2ms^{-1}$

Solution:

The displacement in the given case is,

$\begin{gathered} d=vt \\ d=1.2\times678 \\ d=813.6\text{ m} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the displacement in the given case is 813.6 m.
