Answer:

16.875 m [East]

Step-by-step explanation:

In a velocity time displacement problems

displacement is given by

displacement of moving body = velocity of the that body * time

displacement will be in the direction of velocity of body.

Given

velocity = 7.5 m/s [East]

time = 2.25 seconds

displacement = 7.5 m/s [East] *2.25 seconds

displacement = 16.875 m [East]

Thus, displacement of jack is 16.875 m [East].
