Question

A bird flies from the South Pole to the North Pole. Part of the journey is 1000 miles that takes 2 weeks. What is the bird’s velocity in that time? Show work for credit and include final units.

Answer 1

Based from the basic formula and relationship of distance, time and velocity, it is said that velocity is equal to distance traveled over time covered. The bird has a velocity of 1000/2 or equivalent to 500 miles per week. This can also be expressed in some other units such as km/h. m/s etc.
