Camille is driving her boat down the coast to the East (90 deg) at a steady 20 meters/sec. Her raft is
being pushed by a 3 meter/sec current to the South. After 5 minutes, what is her displacement from her
original position?

Respuesta :

The displacement is 900 meter current to the South.

What is the displacement?

We know that velocity is the ratio of the displacement of a body to time. Displacement is a vector quantity just as velocity. We know that given the fact that velocity and displacement are vectors, the direction of the movement is very important.

Thus, we can see that;

Velocity =  3 meter/sec  current to the South

Time = 5 minutes or 300 sec

Velocity = displacement/ time

displacement = velocity * time

displacement = 3 meter/sec  current to the South *  300 sec

= 900 meter current to the South
