Hello..!

To calculate its displacement, we first apply the data to the problem.

Data:

  • V = 100km/h
  • T = 50min
  • D = ?

Now, we apply a conversion.

Conversion:

  • 100km/h • (1000m/1km) • (1h/3600s)
  • V = 27.7m/s
  • 50min • (60s / 1min)
  • T = 3000s

Then, we apply the formula that is.

Formula:

  • D = V • T

Finally we develop the problem.

Developing:

  • D = (27.7m/s) • (3000s)
  • D = 83100m

The displacement of the bike is 83100 meters.

Answer:

83,333.33 m (2 d.p.)

Step-by-step explanation:


\boxed{\sf Speed=(Distance)/(Time)}

Given values:

  • Speed = 100 k/h
  • Time = 50 minutes

As there are 60 minutes in one hour, convert minutes into hours by dividing by 60:


\implies \sf Time=(50)/(60)=(5)/(6)\;hour

Substitute the values into the formula and solve for distance:


\implies \sf 100=(Distance)/((5)/(6))


\implies \sf 100=Distance * (6)/(5)


\implies \sf Distance=(100 * 5)/(6)


\implies \sf Distance=(250)/(3)\;km


\implies \sf Distance=83.33333...\;km

At there are 1000 meters in one kilometer, convert kilometers into meters by multiplying by 1000:


\implies \sf Distance=83.33333...* 1000=83333.33\;m\;(2\;d.p.)
