Exploring Displacement with Average Velocity

How long does it take to walk from the bus stop to the museum entrance?

Your average velocity is 1.2 m/s to the north.

Answer:

It will take you approximately 11.3 minutes to walk from the bus stop to the museum entrance.

When calculating the time it takes to walk from the bus stop to the museum entrance, we can use the formula for average velocity:

Average Velocity = Total Displacement / Total Time Taken

Given that the average velocity is 1.2 m/s and the time taken is 11.3 minutes, we need to first convert the time to seconds to match the unit of velocity:

1 minute = 60 seconds

11.3 minutes = 11.3 * 60 = 678 seconds

Now, we can calculate the total displacement using the formula:

Total Displacement = Average Velocity x Total Time Taken

Plugging in the values, we get:

Total Displacement = 1.2 m/s x 678 s = 813.6 meters

Therefore, it will take you 11.3 minutes to walk from the bus stop to the museum entrance with a displacement of 813.6 meters.
