Bus From El Paso to Chihuahua: Total Displacement

In summary, the bus traveled from El Paso, Texas to a location near Chihuahua, Mexico in 5.3 hours with an average speed of 73 km/h to the south. To calculate the bus's total displacement, we need to use the formula d = v * t, where d is displacement, v is velocity, and t is time. Velocity is different from displacement, with velocity being the average speed and displacement being the difference between the initial and final positions.

a bus travels from El paso, texas to an area near chihuhua mexico in 5.3 h with an average of 73 km/h to the south.

what is the bus's total displacement? answer in km


ok is velocity the same as displacement? and if it is do i just use

v=d*T?

First of all, Va=d/t(meters/second); Va is average velocity. Secondly, displacement is the difference between the initial position of something (as a body or geometric figure) and any later position. aka distance.

What's strange is someone else asked a question about displacement and that same person also had the formula for distance, time and velocity wrong. What a coincidence!
