Displacement Calculation of a Car

What is the displacement of the car after driving 23 m/s east for 35 seconds?

A. 805 m west

B. 805 m east

C. 523 m east

D. 23 m east

Answer: B. 805 m east

The displacement of the car after driving 23 m/s east for 35 seconds is 805 meters east. This calculation can be done by multiplying the speed of the car (23 m/s east) by the time it traveled (35 seconds).

Explanation:

Δx = (23 m/s east) x (35 s)

Δx = 805 m east
