An ostrich was 960meters east of its nest. It ran west at a constant velocity for 160seconds. In that time, it ran halfway to its nest. What was its velocity?

Sagot :

Answer is 3 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:-

The ostrich ran at a constant velocity, so it's velocity was :

[tex]velocity = \frac{distance}{time} [/tex]

It is said that the bird ran for 160 seconds and it made it half-way to its nest, so the distance was :

[tex]distance = \frac{960 \: metres}{time} [/tex]

[tex]distance = 480 \: metres[/tex]

And the velocity is :-

[tex]velocity = \frac{480 \: metres}{160 \: seconds} [/tex]

[tex]velocity = 3 \: m/s[/tex]

Therefore, the ostrich ran at a velocity of 3 m/s .
