Question

A polar bear travels in a straight line for 1,800 seconds with an average velocity of 3.0 m/s. What is the average distance covered by the polar bear during this time?

A) 5,400 m
B) 1,800 m
C) 6,000 m
D) 900 m

Answer 1

The average distance covered by a polar bear traveling with an average velocity of 3.0 m/s for 1,800 seconds is calculated to be 5,400 meters. Option A is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to determine the average distance covered by a polar bear. This can be calculated using the formula for distance: distance = speed × time. Given the speed (average velocity) is 3.0 m/s and the time is 1,800 seconds, we can plug these values into the formula.

Distance = 3.0 m/s × 1,800 s = 5,400 m. Therefore, the correct answer is (A) 5,400 m.

To find the average distance covered by the polar bear, we can use the formula:

Average distance = Average velocity x Time

Given that the average velocity is 3.0 m/s and the time is 1,800 seconds, we can calculate:

Average distance = 3.0 m/s x 1,800 s = 5,400 meters

Therefore, the average distance covered by the polar bear during this time is 5,400 m (Option A).
