It takes you 9.5 minutes to walk with an average velocity of 1.2 m/s to the north form the bus stop to the museum entrance. What is your displacement?
D = V * t
Make sure t is in seconds if you use the velocity in m/s. then the answer will be in meters.
9.5 min x 60 s/min = 570 seconds
Your displacement is 684 meters to the north.
9.5min= 9.5 min x (60s/1min)
= 570s
v=d/t
1.2m/s = d/570s
d= 684m
To determine the displacement, we need to know the distance traveled in a specific direction. In this case, you mentioned that you walked with an average velocity of 1.2 m/s to the north for 9.5 minutes.
To find the displacement, we can use the formula: Displacement = Velocity x Time.
First, let's convert the time from minutes to seconds, as velocity is given in meters per second. There are 60 seconds in a minute, so 9.5 minutes would be equal to 9.5 x 60 = 570 seconds.
Now, we can calculate the displacement using the formula:
Displacement = 1.2 m/s (velocity) x 570 s (time)
Displacement = 684 meters (to the north)
Therefore, your displacement from the bus stop to the museum entrance is 684 meters to the north.
