Question

2. A car travels 32 m/s south in 9 seconds. What is the car's displacement ?

Answer 1

About 75 meters squared.

Answer 2

3.56m due south

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Velocity of the car = 32m/s

Time = 9s

Unknown:

Displacement of the car = ?

Solution:

The velocity of a body is its displacement per unit of time in a specific direction.

Velocity =
`(displacement)/(time)`

So;

Velocity =
`(32)/(9)` = 3.56m due south
