Question

Over 75 seconds a truck traveled at a constant velocity of 25 meters per second to the west. Find the trucks displacement

Answer 1

1875 m west

Step-by-step explanation:

Take east to be the positive direction. Given:

v₀ = -25 m/s

a = 0 m/s² (constant velocity)

t = 75 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (-25 m/s) (75 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (75 s)²

Δx = -1875 m
