An ant crawls along a sidewalk with a velocity of 0.1 m/s in a direction that is 45° relative to edge of the sidewalk. if it has traveled 1 m perpendicular to the edge of the sidewalk, how long has it been walking?

a.) 0.07 s

b.) 5 s

c.) 14 s

d.) 45 s

14 s

Explanation:

Given

Velocity of ant is 0.1 m/s in a direction

if it has traveled 1 m perpendicular to the edge of the sidewalk

i.e. from diagram

0.19 m/s and 0.45 m/s

the answer would most likely be c, because if it's a comical piece of information, it may likely not be true, if it's a site that allows anybody to edit the content, it could mean a five year old is typing the info, and if it's a tv show produced by a celeb, it may have a biased opinion.
