Displacement Calculation Challenge!
How long does it take you to walk from the bus stop to the museum entrance?
a) 7 minutes
b) 9.5 minutes
c) 11 minutes
Answer:
It takes you 9.5 minutes to walk from the bus stop to the museum entrance.
When given an average velocity of 1.2 m/s to the north, it takes a time of 9.5 minutes to walk from the bus stop to the museum entrance. This is calculated by dividing the displacement by the velocity.
Given the formula: velocity = displacement / time, we can rearrange it to find the displacement: displacement = velocity x time.
Substitute the given values into the equation: displacement = 1.2 m/s x 570 s = 684 m.
Therefore, your displacement is 684 meters from the bus stop to the museum entrance.
