Position Distance Displacement Q2 3 Solutions

A person hiked 9.0 km south-southwest, then 5.5 km west-northwest, and finally 8.0 km north. The total trip took 5.0 hours. The total displacement was calculated to be 9.0 km + 5.5 km + 8.0 km = 22.5 km. The average speed was calculated to be 22.5 km / 5.0 hours = 4.5 km/h. The average velocity was calculated to be 4.5 km/h north.
