A snail was observed to have moved a distance of 0.5 meters in 2 hours. What rate of movement was observed in this experiment

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.25 m/ hour

Explanation:

A rate of movement is essentially a speed measurement, where you divide the distance crossed from point A to point B by the time it took to do it.

So, we know the snail moved a total distance of 0.5 meters... that's our distance crossed.

We know that took 2 hours...  so we just have to calculate that:

0.5 meters / 2 hours  = 0.25 m/hour

Answer:

The answer is Velocity is equal to 0.25 meter per hour.

Explanation:

Velocity is the physical magnitude of a vector character that relates the change of position with time. The velocity shows and expresses the variation in terms of the position of an object and as a function of time, which would be the same as saying that it is the distance traveled by an object in the unit of time.

Velocity is expressed with the formula [tex]v = \frac{d}{t}[/tex] where (v) represents velocity, (d) represents distance and (t) represents time.

knowing this we can proceed to replace the values given in the problem.

[tex]v = \frac{0.5m}{2h}\\ v= 0.25\frac{m}{h}[/tex]
