Question

A polar bear walks a distance of 160 meters in 60 seconds. What was its speed?

Answer 1

2.66667 m/sec use the equation for speed d/t = s

Answer 2

2.6m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed may be defined as the distance covered by the object per unit time. The S.I. unit of speed is meter/second. Speed is the scalar quantity as it gives only magnitude.

The formula to calculate the speed is as follows:

Speed = distance/time.

Here, distance = 160m and time = 60 sec.

Speed = 160/60

Speed = 2.6 m/s.

Thus, the speed of the polar bear is 2.6m/s.
