Isaac tosses a twig into a river to figure out how quickly the water is flowing. He observes that the twig travels 21 meters south in three seconds. Based on his observations, what is the velocity of the twig?

Since v=d÷t, the velocity would be 7 m/s. (V means velocity, d means distance, t means time.)
