Correct question: The velocity of an object is the distance it travels per unit time. Suppose the velocity of a gliding bird is measured to be 324cm/s . Calculate the time it will take the bird to travel 3.2m . Be sure your answer has a unit symbol and the correct number of significant digits. Solution: Write down the definition of velocity. Solve for time. Put in the data given. Convert units. Use the calculator. Round to the correct number of significant digits. No mistakes
Answer:
t= 0.988s
Explanation:
velocity is the distance traveled per sec.
v=s/t
t=s/v
s=3.2m, v=324cm/s = (324/100 )m/s= 3.24m/s
[tex]t=\frac{3.2}{3.24}[/tex]
t= 0.98765432sec
t= 0.988s
