Weddell seals make holes in sea ice so that they can swim down to forage on the ocean floor below. Measurements for one seal sho
wed that it dived straight down from such an opening, reaching a depth of 0.30 km in a time of 5.0 min.what is the speed of the diving seal in m/s? A. 0.60 m/s B. 1.0 m/s C. 1.6 m/s D. 6.0 m/s E. 10 m/s
The formula for power is used to solve for the speed. Given are P = 5.8x10^4 W and W = 2.1 x10^4 N = F. Formula: v =P / F this would result to v = 5.8 x10^4 W / 2.1x10^4 N = 2.76 m/s. I hope this helps you
