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?

3 answers

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
9.5min= 9.5 min x (60s/1min)
= 570s

v=d/t
1.2m/s = d/570s
d= 684m
Your displacement is 684 meters to the north.
