Question

humming bird flits from flower to flower. Over a period of 10 minutes, it travels 40 meters. The average speed of the humming bird is ___m/min.

Answer 1

As we know that average speed is given by the ratio of total distance covered and total time of motion so we will have

$v_{avg} = \frac{distance }{time}$

now we have

distance covered = 40 meter

time taken by the bird = 10 minutes

now in order to find the average speed of the bird

$v_{avg} = \frac{40}{10}$

$v_{avg} = 4 meter/min$

so the average speed of the bird is 4 m/min
