A school bus takes 0.55 h to reach the school from your house. If the average velocity of the bus is 17.1 km/h to the east, what is the displacement?
averagevelocity=displacement/time
solve for displacement
9.4
To find the displacement, we need to determine the distance and direction traveled by the school bus.
First, let's calculate the distance traveled by the bus using the formula: distance = speed × time.
Distance = 17.1 km/h × 0.55 h = 9.405 km (rounded to three decimal places).
Since the bus is traveling to the east, we can conclude that the displacement is also to the east. Therefore, the displacement is 9.405 km to the east.
