Answer:

0.136 km

Step-by-step explanation:

whale speed = 8 m/s for 17 sec.

find distance traveled in km

distance = velocity x time

= 8 m/sec. x 17 sec.

= 136 meters x 1 km

1000 meters

= 0.136 km

We have,
Speed = 8 m/s
Time = 17 seconds
Now,
Speed = Distance/Time
★ Substituting the values in the above formula,we get:
⇒ 8 = Distance/17
⇒ Distance = 8 × 17
⇒ Distance = 136 m
the distance covered by a whale is 136 m .

I believe the answer to your question is going to be 136m. If I’m not mistaking.!
