322km/hr = 322/3.6 =89.44m/s
Displacement = 89.44*7.2 sec = 644m = 0.644km

Multiply velocity and time and you get 0.644 km, but remember that displacement has a direction and so does velocity, so because velocity is positive in the direction that the falcon is going you have a positive displacement.
