Question

A trucker drives with an average velocity of 27 m/s toward the east on a perfectly

straight highway.What will the trucker's displacement be after 2.0 h?

Answer 1

The displacement of the driver is 194400m in the east direction

Step-by-step explanation:

In physics, the displacement of a body is the distance the body travels in a specified direction.

We are told that the trucker is driving east on a perfectly straight highway. From this, we know that his direction is East. The thing left will be to find the distance travelled within 2 hours.

We can convert the time (2 hours) to seconds by multiplying it by 3600

2 hours = 7200 seconds

The distance travelled will be obtained by a product of truck's speed and the time travelled.

distance = 27m/s X 7200 s = 194400m

Therefore the displacement of the driver is 194400m in the east direction
