a school bus takes 0.530 h to reach the school from your house. if the average velocity of the bus is 19.0 km/h to the east, what is the displacement?
Displacement = velocity * time
If the velocity is km/h, and the time is in hours, the displacement is in km.

a school bus takes 0.530 h to reach the school from your house. If the average velocity of the bus is 19.0 km/h to the east, what is your displacement?
To find the displacement, we need to know the distance traveled and the direction. Since the average velocity is given as 19.0 km/h to the east, we know the direction is toward the east.
To find the distance traveled, we can use the formula:
Distance = Velocity x Time
In this case, the velocity is 19.0 km/h and the time is 0.530 hours.
Distance = 19.0 km/h x 0.530 h = 10.07 km (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the distance traveled by the school bus is approximately 10.07 km to the east.
Since displacement is a vector quantity and represents the shortest distance between two points, it does not consider the direction. Thus, the displacement of the school bus is also 10.07 km.
