Question

An ostrich ran 4,200 meters to the west at a constant velocity. it ran that distance in 1,200 seconds. what was it's velocity?

Answer 1

distance : 4,200 meters

time : 1,200 seconds

To find the velocity we have to apply the next formula:

Velocity = Distance / time

Replacing with the values given:

Velocity = 4,200 m / 1,200 sec = 3.5 meters per second

Velocity = 3.5 m/sec
