Answer:

This question is asking to find the average speed during the dive. The answer is 22m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average speed of a substance can be calculated knowing it's distance over a particular amount of time.

The formula for average speed is:

Average speed (s) = Distance (d) / time (t)

In the case of this question where A peregrine falcon dives 176 meters through the air in 8 seconds, the distance of the falcon is 176m, while the time is 8s. Hence;

Average speed = 176/8

Average speed = 22

Therefore, the average speed of the falcon diver is 22m/s.
