a school bus takes 0.530 h to reach the school from your house. If the average velocity of the bus is 19.0 km/h to the east, what is your displacement?
.530 hr * (19.0 km/hr) = 10.1
(10.07 but we only have three significant figures in the data given so 10.7)
So the displacement is 10.1 km and the displacement vector is 10.1 km East
10.7
Well, if the school bus is taking 0.530 hours to reach the school, then I hope it didn't get stuck picking up too many clowns on the way! Now, as for your displacement, since the bus is traveling east, we know that distance is equal to displacement as the bus is not changing its direction. So, your displacement would simply be the distance traveled, which is 19.0 km/h multiplied by 0.530 hours. Now, that should give you a good idea of how far clowns can commute!
To find the displacement, we need to determine the distance between your house and the school and the direction in which the school is located.
In this case, the average velocity of the bus is given as 19.0 km/h to the east. Since velocity includes both magnitude and direction, we know that the bus is moving towards the east.
Now, to find the displacement, we need to know the distance between your house and the school. The time it takes for the bus to travel from your house to the school is given as 0.530 hours.
To calculate the distance traveled, we can use the formula:
Distance = Velocity x Time
Substituting the given values, we have:
Distance = 19.0 km/h x 0.530 h
Distance = 10.07 km
Therefore, the distance between your house and the school is 10.07 km to the east. Since displacement refers to the change in position from the starting point, considering the direction, the displacement is 10.07 km east.
