Question

What is the distance traveled by a butterfly in a rectilinear trajectory that travels with an average speed of 6m / s for 3 minutes?

Answer 1

If the average speed is 6 meters per second and it has been flying for three minutes, we have to analyze and make the time in the same unit (in the question statement for minutes and seconds).

Every minute has 60 seconds. To find the number of seconds in three minutes simply multiply 3 by 60 which results in 180 seconds.

Now a simple and directly proportional rule of three ends by solving the question:

Weather Distance
1 ----------- 6
180 -------- x

It is directly proportional, since the longer the distance, so that we multiply by "x".

1 * x = 6 * 180

X = 1.080

Thus, the butterfly with this average velocity will travel a distance of approximately 1,080 meters or 1,080 kilometers or 1 kilometer and 80 centimeters.

Good studies!

Answer 2

Butterfly travelled in rectilinear trajectory with speed 6 m/sec .
we know,
distance = speed × time taken

here,
speed = 6 m/sec
time = 3 minutes = 3 × 60 = 180 sec

now,
distance travelled by butterfly is
= 6 × 180 m = 1080 m

e.g butterfly travelled 1080 m or 1.080 km in rectilinear path .
