Question

What's the turtle's velocity??

Answer 1

`\boxed {\boxed {\sf v\approx0.24 \ m/s}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Velocity can be found by dividing the displacement by the time.

`v=(displacement)/(time)`

The displacement is 4.77 meters and the time is 19.5 seconds.

`displacement=4.77 \ m \\time=19.5 \ s`

Substitute the values into the formula.

`v=(4.77 \ m )/(19.5 \ s)`

Divide.

`v=0.244615385 \ m/s`

Let's round to the nearest hundredth (just to make the answer more concise).

The 4 in the thousandth place tells us to leave the 4 in the hundredth place.

`v\approx0.24 \ m/s`

The velocity of the turtle is about 0.24 meters per second.
