Question

In An Experiemnt, A Snail Was Observed To Have Moved A Distance Of 0.5 Meters In 2 Hours What Rate Movement Was Observed In This Experiment

a. 4 hours per meter
b. 1 meter hour
c. 0.1
d.0.25 meters per hour

Answer 1

d.0.25 meters per hour

Answer 2

Rate of movement of snail, s = 0.25 meters per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Distance covered by snail, d = 0.5 m

The snail moved this distance in 2 hours

Since, 1 hour = 3600 seconds

So, 2 hour = 7200 seconds

We have to find the rate of movement of snail i.e. s

`s=(d)/(t)`

So,

`s=(0.5)/(7200)`

s = 0.000069 m/s

Converting m/s to m/h

So, s = 0.248 m/h

or s = 0.25 meters per hour

Hence, the correct option is (d)
