the bee's speed with the wind is 0.71+0.19 = 0.90 m/s
against the wind, it is 0.71-0.19 = 0.52 m/s
time = distance/speed, so the total time for the round trip is
568/0.90 + 568/0.52 = ___ s
A bee flies to a flower 568 m due south of its
hive. The bee’s speed in still air is 0.71 m/s,
and there is a wind blowing toward the south
at 0.19 m/s.
How long will it take the bee to travel to
the flower and back to the hive?
