1 m/s
2 m/s
5 m/s
20 m/s
question 9 (1 point)
a turtle walks 4 meters east in 2 seconds. what is the turtles velocity?
8 meters/second east
2 meters/second east
0.5 meters/second east

Explanation:

Step1: Identify values for horse

Given distance $d = 10$ m and time $t=2$ s for the horse.

Step2: Calculate horse speed

Using formula $v=\frac{d}{t}$, we have $v=\frac{10}{2}=5$ m/s.

Step3: Identify values for turtle

Given distance $d = 4$ m and time $t = 2$ s for the turtle, and direction is east.

Step4: Calculate turtle velocity

Using formula $v=\frac{d}{t}$, we get $v=\frac{4}{2}=2$ m/s east.

Answer:

For horse speed: C. 5 m/s
For turtle velocity: B. 2 meters/second east
