Abird 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.

The correct answer to the question is : 2.976 miles/hour.

CALCULATION:

As per the question, the distance travelled by the bird X = 1000 miles.

 The time taken by the bird to cover that distance t = 2 weeks.

                                                                                     = 2 × 7× 24 hours

                                                                                     = 336 hours

We are asked to calculate the speed of the bird.

The speed of the bird is calculated as -

                         speed v =

                                        =

                                        = 2.976 miles/hour                   [ans]

Hence, the velocity of the bird is 2.976 miles/hour.

explanation: in any substance/object, the particles inside it (atoms/molecules) constantly move in random directions and with random speeds (this motion is called brownian motion). as a result, the particles have some kinetic energy (which is proportional to the temperature of the substance).

explanation:

have a great day!
