Question 26
If a dolphin swims at 1.85 m/s, how far will the dolphin have traveled after 6.0 s?

a
9.0 m
b
31 m
c
3.2 m
d
11 m

Answer 1

To find the distance traveled by the dolphin, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} \]

Given:
- Speed = 1.85 m/s
- Time = 6.0 s

Now, substituting the values into the formula:

\[ \text{Distance} = 1.85 \, \text{m/s} \times 6.0 \, \text{s} \]
\[ \text{Distance} = 11.1 \, \text{m} \]

Since this value is not explicitly among your answer choices, we can round it. However, looking at the choices provided:

- a) 9.0 m
- b) 31 m
- c) 3.2 m
- d) 11 m

The closest answer is **d) 11 m**.
