What is the velocity in meters per second of a sailboat that travels 150 m away from the shore in
17 seconds?
8.83
8.82
To find the velocity of the sailboat in meters per second, we need to divide the distance traveled by the time taken.
Given:
Distance = 150 m
Time = 17 seconds
Velocity = Distance / Time
Velocity = 150 m / 17 s
To calculate this, we can use a calculator or perform the division manually.
Using a calculator or performing the division manually, we find:
Velocity ≈ 8.82 m/s
Therefore, the velocity of the sailboat is approximately 8.82 meters per second.
