Final answer:
The difference in distances flown by the bald eagle and peregrine falcon after 3 hours of flight is 10,644,480 meters. The bald eagle has a speed of 14.4 meters per second and the peregrine falcon has a speed of 1,000 meters per second. Their speeds in kilometers per hour are 51.84 km/h and 3,600 km/h respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the difference in distances flown by the bald eagle and the peregrine falcon after 3 hours of flight, we need to first calculate the distances flown by each bird in that time period.
The bald eagle flies 43.2 meters in 3 seconds, so its speed is 43.2 / 3 = 14.4 meters per second. In 3 hours, there are 3 x 60 x 60 = 10,800 seconds. Therefore, the bald eagle would fly 14.4 x 10,800 = 155,520 meters.
The graph of the peregrine falcon shows that it flies 1,000 meters in 1 second. So its speed is 1,000 meters per second. In 3 hours, the peregrine falcon would fly 1,000 x 10,800 = 10,800,000 meters.
The difference in distances flown by the two birds after 3 hours of flight is 10,800,000 - 155,520 = 10,644,480 meters.
To find the rate of each bird's speed in kilometers per hour, we can use the conversion: 1 meter per second is equal to 3.6 kilometers per hour.
For the bald eagle, its speed is 14.4 meters per second, so its speed in kilometers per hour is 14.4 x 3.6 = 51.84 kilometers per hour.
For the peregrine falcon, its speed is 1,000 meters per second, so its speed in kilometers per hour is 1,000 x 3.6 = 3,600 kilometers per hour.
