A slug takes 4.25 minutes to travel 11.2 centimeters. What is the speed of the slug in meters per second?

We are to find the average speed in meters per second

The speed in meters per seconds is 0.0004392156862 meter per second

Time taken = 4.25 minutes

Total distance = 11.2 centimeters

11.2 centimeter = 0.11 meters

4.26 minutes = 255 seconds

Average speed = Distance / Time

= 0.112 meters / 255 seconds

= 0.0004392156862 meter per second

= 4.39 × 10^-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time

Convert the units

so

square root of 36/6 = 2.449489743

square root of 16/6 = 1.632993162

square root of 6 = 2.449489743

the answer is square root of 16/6 because the square root of 36/6 is the same answer as square root of 6 = 2.449489743
