Answer to Question #131381 in Physics for Marlen

Question

what is the velocity in meter per second (m/s), of a bass changing a goldfish if it travels a distance of 650 cm in .5 seconds?

Answer 1

Convert cm to m: 650 cm is 6.5 meters (because 1 m contains 100 cm).

The velocity is distance divided by time:

$$v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{6.5}{0.5}=13\text{ m/s}.$$
