Question

If john is traveling at 8 feet per minute east for 2 hours what is his displacement

Answer 1

Hello!

The answer is: 960 East feet.

Why?

We need to apply the following formula:

`xf=xi+v*t`

and

`displacement=xf-xi`

So, by substituting we have:

`xf-xi=(8ft)/(min) *120min\\d=960ft`

Have a nice day!
