One whale sang to communicate with another whale. The song's sound wave traveled 4,900 meters directly toward the second whale at a constant velocity. The sound wave took 3.5 seconds to move that distance.

Speed = distance/time

speed = 4900/3.5

= 1400m/s (in whichever direction the sound is travelling)
