Question 11

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

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

1 answer

To calculate 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, plug the values into the formula:

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

Since the closest option to 11.1 m is 11 m, the answer is:

a) 11 m
