Given parameters:
Velocity of the car = 5m/s North
Time = 9s
Unknown:
Displacement of the car = ?
Solution:
Displacement is the distance traveled in a specific direction. It is a vector quantity with magnitude and direction.
To find displacement use the expression below;
Displacement = Velocity x Time
Input the parameters and solve;
Displacement = 5 x 9 = 45m due North
The displacement of the car is 45m due North
