    SCIENCE 10 – EXERCISES OF DISPLACEMENT

    PREPARED BY: KENT HAROLD BUENSUCESO

    10.3.1.1.1 Displacement and related quantities

    1. Theresa has to walk to the shop to buy some milk. After walking 100 m, she realises that she does
    not have enough money, and goes back home. If it took her two minutes to leave and come back,
    calculate the following:
    a. How long was she out of the house (the time interval ∆t in seconds)?
    b. How far did she walk (distance (d))?
    c. What was her displacement (∆x)?
    d. What was her average velocity (in m·s −1 )?
    e. What was her average speed (in m·s −1 )?

    2. Desmond is watching a straight stretch of road from his classroom window. He can see two poles
    which he earlier measured to be 50 m apart. Using his stopwatch, Desmond notices that it takes 3 s
    for most cars to travel from the one pole to the other.
    a. Using the equation for velocity (v = ∆x ∆t ), show all the working needed to calculate the velocity of
    a car travelling from the left to the right.
    b. If Desmond measures the velocity of a red Golf to be −16, 67 m · s −1 , in which direction was the
    Gold travelling? Desmond leaves his stopwatch running, and notices that at t = 5, 0 s, a taxi passes the
    left pole at the same time as a bus passes the right pole. At time t = 7, 5 s the taxi passes the right
    pole. At time t = 9, 0 s, the bus passes the left pole.
    c. How long did it take the taxi and the bus to travel the distance between the poles? (Calculate the
    time interval (∆t) for both the taxi and the bus).
    d. What was the velocity of the taxi and the bus?
    e. What was the speed of the taxi and the bus?
    f. What was the speed of taxi and the bus in km · h −1 ?

    3. A rabbit runs across a freeway. There is a car, 100 m away travelling towards the rabbit.
    a. If the car is travelling at 120 km · h −1 , what is the car's speed in m · s −1 .
    b. How long will it take the a car to travel 100 m?
    c. If the rabbit is running at 10 km · h −1 , what is its speed in m · s −1 ?
    d. If the freeway has 3 lanes, and each lane is 3 m wide, how long will it take for the rabbit to cross all
    three lanes?
    e. If the car is travelling in the furthermost lane from the rabbit, will the rabbit be able to cross all 3
    lanes of the freeway safely?
