Question

2.2 - In an experiment, a shearwater (a seabird) was taken from
its nest, flown 5100 km away, and released. The bird found
its way back to its nest 12.4 days after release. If we place the
origin at the nest and extend the +x-axis to the release point,
what was the bird's average velocity in m/s (a) for the return
flight and (b) for the whole episode, from leaving the nest to
returning?

Answer 1

Answer:

In an experiment, a shearwater (a seabird) was taken from its nest, flown 5150 km away, and released. The bird found its way back to its nest 13.5 days after release. If we place the origin at the nest and extend the + x-axis to the release point, what was the bird’s average velocity in m/s (a) for the return flight and (b) for the whole episode, from leaving the nest to returning?

Answer 2

Answer:

1st-50m/s

2nd-0m/s

Explanation:

in 1st we can calculate by calculating Vavg as

total distance/total time it is approximately 50m/s

2nd 0m/s is Vavgas the net displacement is 0
