Question

A peregrine falcon's top speed is 90m/s. How long will it take the falcon to fly 1 km?

Answer 1

It will take the peregrine falcon approximately 11.11 seconds to fly 1 kilometer at its top speed of 90 meters per second.

Explanation:

First, you need to convert 1 kilometer to meters because the speed is given in meters per second. There are 1,000 meters in 1 kilometer.

So, Distance = 1,000 meters

Speed = 90 meters per second

Now, plug these values into the formula:

Time (in seconds) = 1,000 meters / 90 meters per second

Time (in seconds) = 11.11 seconds (rounded to two decimal places)

It will take the peregrine falcon approximately 11.11 seconds to fly 1 kilometer at its top speed of 90 meters per second.
