Answer:
55 m eastward
Explanation:
The relationship between velocity, displacement and time is:
[tex]v=\frac{d}{t}[/tex]
where v is the velocity, d the displacement and t the time.
In this problem, we know:
- [tex]v=0.11 km/h[/tex] eastward is the velocity of the sloth
- [tex]t=30.0 min = 0.5 h[/tex] is the time of the motion
Therefore, we can find the displacement of the sloth by re-arranging the previous formula:
[tex]d=vt=(0.11 km/h)(0.5 h)=0.055 km = 55 m[/tex]
and the direction is the same as the velocity (eastward).
