Question

a bee beats its wings 250 times each second. what is the average time for single beats of a bee's wing?

Answer 1

The wings of bees move very fast

That's why they can attain up to 250 beats every second

The rate at which a bee may beat it's wing may vary over a period of time due to it's speed, and that explains why we talk of average time.

To get this average, we divide 1 by 250

So, average time for one beat = 1/250

                                                 = 0.004 Seconds

What this answer means is that, on average it takes 0.004 seconds for the wing of a bee to go up and down once. 

Answer 2

Solution :-

A bee beats its wings 250 times in 1 second.

So, to find the average time for a single beat of a bee's wing, we have to divide 1 by 250.

⇒ 1/250

= 0.004 second

So, the average time is 0.004 second for single beat of a bee's wing.
