Question

A shark travels with an average velocity of 12 m/s s. How long (time) would it take the shark to swim 42 m at that velocity ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Time taken by the shark to swim 42 meters = 3.5 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

Average velocity at which shark travels = 12 m/s

Distance the shark travels = 42 m

To find time taken by shark to swim 42 meters at the given velocity.

Solution:

The time can be calculated as:

$Time taken =\frac{Distance }{Velocity}$

Plugging in the given values, we have:

$Time taken = \frac{42\ m}{12\ m/s}$

Simplifying fractions.

$Time taken = \frac{7}{2}\ s$

∴ $Time taken =3.5\ s$ (Answer)
