Answer:
55 m eastward
Explanation:
The relationship between velocity, displacement and time is:
\(v=\frac{d}{t}\)
where v is the velocity, d the displacement and t the time.
In this problem, we know:
- \(v=0.11 km/h\) eastward is the velocity of the sloth
- \(t=30.0 min = 0.5 h\) is the time of the motion
Therefore, we can find the displacement of the sloth by re-arranging the previous formula:
\(d=vt=(0.11 km/h)(0.5 h)=0.055 km = 55 m\)
and the direction is the same as the velocity (eastward).
