Question

What's the turtle's velocity??

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf v\approx0.24 \ m/s}}$

Explanation:

Velocity can be found by dividing the displacement by the time.

$v=\frac{displacement}{time}$

The displacement is 4.77 meters and the time is 19.5 seconds.

$displacement=4.77 \ m \\time=19.5 \ s$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$v=\frac{4.77 \ m }{19.5 \ s}$

Divide.

$v=0.244615385 \ m/s$

Let's round to the nearest hundredth (just to make the answer more concise).

The 4 in the thousandth place tells us to leave the 4 in the hundredth place.

$v\approx0.24 \ m/s$

The velocity of the turtle is about 0.24 meters per second.
