Answer to Question #161717 in Chemistry for Higgins

Question

A cardinal flies east for 2.9 s in a horizontal plane for a distance of 22 m from a fence post a bush. It then flies north another 11 m to a bird feeder 1.5 s. Calculate average velocity of the cardin

Answer 1

The average velocity equals:

V = (d₁ + d₂)/ (t₁ + t₂) = (22 m + 11 m) / (2.9 s + 1.5 s) = 7.5 m/s

Answer: 7.5 m/s
