A displacement is a vector quantity that takes into account the shortest distance from the starting point to the endpoint.

The given above gave a time interval in minutes which needs to be converted to seconds. Given that each minute is 60 seconds, 5 minutes equal 300 seconds. To determine the distance, multiply time with speed. The product is 225 m.

Thus, the displacement is 225 m.
