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

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

Step-by-step 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 =(Distance )/(Velocity)`

Plugging in the given values, we have:

`Time taken = (42\ m)/(12\ m/s)`

Simplifying fractions.

`Time taken = (7)/(2)\ s`

∴
`Time taken =3.5\ s` (Answer)
