HEATHER AND MAT WALK WITH AN AVERAGE VELOCITY OF 0.98 M/S EASTWARD. IF IT TAKES THEM 34 MIN TO WALK TO THE STORE, WHAT IS THEIR DISPLACEMENT?
displacement = (average velocity) (time)
The direction will be East. Make sure the time is in seconds, since the velocity is in m/s.
34 minutes = 2040 seconds
1999.2m
their displacement should be 33.32
unless you calculate time along with that then it would around two thousand.
To calculate the displacement, we need to determine the distance traveled by Heather and Mat in the given time.
First, let's convert the time from minutes to seconds:
34 minutes * 60 seconds/minute = 2040 seconds
Next, we can use the formula for average velocity:
Average Velocity = Displacement / Time
Rearranging the formula to solve for displacement:
Displacement = Average Velocity * Time
Plugging in the given values:
Displacement = 0.98 m/s * 2040 s
Now we can calculate the displacement:
Displacement = 2001.6 meters
Therefore, their displacement is 2001.6 meters eastward.
