at exactly 2:00pm, speedy the hermit crab crawls onto a meter stick starting at the 10 cm mark. if he reachs the 60 cm mark at exactly 2:10 pm, what is his speed
Speedy's speed can be calculated by dividing the distance he traveled by the time it took him to do so.
Distance traveled: 60 cm - 10 cm = 50 cm
Time taken: 2:10 pm - 2:00 pm = 10 minutes or 600 seconds
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 50 cm / 600 seconds = 0.0833 cm/s
Therefore, Speedy's speed is 0.0833 cm/s
