C. A mechanical wave generally travels faster in gases than liquids.
Answer:
Displacement: 2.230 km Average velocity: 1.274
Explanation:
Let's represent displacement by the letter S and the displacement in direction 49.7° as A. Displaement is a vector, so we need to decompose all the bird's displacement into their X-Y compoments. Let's go one by one:
- 0.916 km due east is an horizontal direction and cane be seen as direction towards the negative side of X-axis.
- 0.928 km due south is a vertical direction and can be seen as a direction towards the negative side of Y-axis.
- 3.52 km in a direction of 49.7° has components on X and Y axes. It is necessary to break it down using trigonometry,
First of all. We need to sum all the X components and all the Y componets.

The total displacement is calculated using Pythagoeran therorem:

With displacement calculated, we can find the average speed as follows:
⇒ 

With time, momentum increases as it builds speed assuming their is nothing in the way to stop it. Based on the graph, you can see that example being displayed as the line on the graph gets higher
