b. 3.75 m to the east

c. 225 m to the north

d. need more information

Answer 2

have you any idea...?

Answer 3

Nope, still nothing.. :/

Answer 4

Velocity = (Displacement) / (Time)

of

D=V/T.... when we put values here... the required answer is not obtained...

Answer 5

You have the time it takes, 5 Minutes, to walk from A to B with the average velocity given as .75 m /s.
From the formula of Velocity you can solve for the displacement during that time interval. \[D = V \times T\]

Where
D = Distance in meters
V = Velocity in meters/sec
T = Time in seconds

Seeing as your time is in minutes you must first convert to seconds.
We can use conversion factors for that: \[minutes \times \frac{ seconds }{ minutes } = seconds\]


Placing the proper Minutes and Seconds into your conversion factor you will solve for seconds and then you can substitute that back into your equation\[D = V \times T\]
