Question

A bird flies from the South Pole to the North Pole. Part of the journey is 1000 miles that takes 2 weeks. What is the bird’s velocity in that time? Show work for credit and include final units.

Answer 1

Velocity = Distance / TimeHere, Distance = 1000 milesTime = 2 weeks = 14*24 Hours [ 1 week = 7 days & 1 day = 24 hours ] Time = 336 Hours
Now, substitute the values,Velocity = 1000/336 = 2.976 miles/hour
So, your final answer is 2.976 miles/hour
