Answer:
1.042 × 10⁻³ m/s
Explanation:
average speed = [tex]\frac{total \space\ distance \space\ covered}{time \space\ taken}[/tex]
In this case,
• distance covered = 90 m,
• time taken = 24 hours = 24 × 60 = 1440 min = 1140 × 60 = 86400 s
Substituting these values into the formula:
average speed = [tex]\frac{90}{86400}[/tex]
= 1.042 × 10⁻³ m/s
Answer:
3.75 meters per hour
Explanation:
[tex]\boxed{\sf Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}}[/tex]
Given:
- Distance = 90 meters
- Time = 24 hours
Substitute the given values into the formula to calculated the speed:
[tex]\implies \sf Speed = \dfrac{90\:m}{24\:h}[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf Speed = 3.75\:m/h[/tex]
Therefore, the average speed of the snail is 3.75 meters per hour.
To calculate the speed in meters per minute, divide by 60:
[tex]\implies \sf Speed = \dfrac{3.75\:m/h}{60}=0.0625\:m/min[/tex]
To calculate the speed in meters per second, divide by 60 again:
[tex]\implies \sf Speed = \dfrac{0.0625\:m/min}{60}=0.001042\:m/s\:\:(4\:s.f.)[/tex]
