A car travels at a velocity of 10 m/s north for 50 s. Which of the following

equations correctly determines the car's displacement?

A) displacement = 50 s / (10 m/s)

B) displacement = (10 m/s north) / 50 S

C) displacement = (10 m/s north) * 50 S

D) displacement = 50 s / (10 m/s north)

Given that,

Velocity of car, v = 10 m/s (towards north)

Time, t = 50 s

The shortest path covered by the car is called its displacement. Mathematically it is given by

d = v * t

v is the velocity of the car

t is the time taken

Here, displacement = (10 m/s north) * 50 seconds

So, the correct option is (c).

Answer: C) displacement = (10 m/s north) * 50 S

Explanation:

Displacement = v*t
