Question

A car is traveling 5 m/s North, its displacement is
after 9 seconds?

Answer 1

Given parameters:

Velocity of the car = 5m/s North

Time = 9s

Unknown:

Displacement of the car = ?

Solution:

Displacement is the distance traveled in a specific direction. It is a vector quantity with magnitude and direction.

To find displacement use the expression below;

Displacement = Velocity x Time

Input the parameters and solve;

Displacement = 5 x 9 = 45m due North

The displacement of the car is 45m due North
