Question

Find the displacement of a beetle crawling for 180 seconds at a velocity of 0.25m/s to the left.

Answer 1

ANSWER

$45\text{ m to the left}$

EXPLANATION

We want to find the displacement of the beetle.

To do this, we apply the formula for velocity:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where d = displacement; t = time

Therefore, we have that:

$\begin{gathered} d=v\cdot t \\ \Rightarrow d=0.25\cdot180 \\ d=45\text{ m to the left} \end{gathered}$

That is the displacement.
