Question

A female cheetah left her cubs to hunt for food. She sprinted 30 m away from her den in two seconds. Next, she turned around and traveled 10 meters back toward her den in three seconds. She suddenly stopped and listened intently for 1 second. Then, she traveled 40 meters away from her den in four seconds.

What is her average velocity in m/s?

Answer 1

Explanation:

total distance = 30+10+40 = 80 meters

time = 2+3+4 = 9 seconds

average velocity = 80/9 = 8 8/9 meters per second.
