Question

A seagull is floating on the surface of the ocean when it takes off and flies upward at a rate of 4 ft per second. After 19 seconds, how far away from the surface of the water will the seagull be?

Answer 1

d = 76 m

Explanation:

It is given that, the speed of 4 ft per second when it takes off and flies upward

We need to find how far away from the surface of the water will the seagull be after 9 seconds.

Speed is distance over time.

So,

Distance, d = vt

d=4 ft/s × 19 s

d=76 meters

So, the seagull will be at a distance of 76 m from the surface of water.
