A falcon can descend with a speed 250 km/h. If a falcon flies at this speed for 2.0 s and then flies a 100 m in 2.5 s, what is the falcon’s average speed for the entire flight?

Answer:

v= s/t

Step-by-step explanation:

250 km/ h =69.44m/s

S1=2 times 69.44 ≈ 139m

Next 2.5 seconds:

S2 = 100m

Average speed:

v=139m+100m/2s+2.5s = 239/4.5s = 53.2 m/s=192km/h
