\mathrm {Hey, there!}

Let's solve your problem:

20 m/s due east is your answer.

For this question, we will use the displacement method.

The displacement method states:

You divide the larger number by the smaller number.

\mathrm {Equation} -
\mathrm {180m / 9.0 = 20.0}

Answer:

20m/s due east

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Displacement = 180m due east

Time taken = 9s

Unknown:

Average velocity of the truck = ?

Solution:

The average velocity is the displacement divided by the time taken;

Average velocity =
(displacement)/(time)

Insert the parameters and solve;

Average velocity =
(180)/(9) = 20m/s due east
