Question

At its maximum speed, a typical snail moves about 4.0 m in 5.0 min.

What is the average speed of the snail?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Distance = 4.0m

Time = 5.0 mins = 300secs

Required

Average speed

Average speed = Distance/Time

Average speed = 4.0/300

Average speed = 0.01333m/secs

Hence the average speed of the snail is 0.01333m/s
