Question

If Aidan skates in a straight line for 15 min with an average velocity of 12.5 km/h south, what is his displacement? Using symbols

Answer 1

distance or displacement = rate of speed times time traveled

d=rt

d= 12.5 x 1/4 = 3.125 = 3 1/8 km

15 minutes = 1/4 hour, so Aida skated 1/4 of 12 1/2 kilometers. 4 into 12.5 = 3.125 = 3 1/8 km
