Question

1. at top speed, a peregrine falcon can travel 324 meters in 3 seconds. calculate his average speed in m/s.?
2. a swordfish can travel an impressive 32 km in 20 minutes. what is this fishs average speed in km/min?
3. the komodo dragon prefers to hunt by stealth, but can briefly run 6.5 miles for half an hour. what is the average speed in miles per hour?
4. how many meters can a grizzly bear run in 20 seconds, while traveling at her top average speed of 13 meters per second??
5. how many feet will a wombat cover in 15 minutes at an average speed of 2100 ft/min?
6. a sea anemone can only travel at an average speed of 1.7 millimeters/minute. how many millimeters will it travel in 2.5 minutes?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate falcon's speed

$\text{Speed} = \frac{324}{3} = 108$ m/s

Step2: Calculate swordfish's speed

$\text{Speed} = \frac{32}{20} = 1.6$ km/min

Step3: Calculate dragon's speed

$\text{Speed} = \frac{6.5}{0.5} = 13$ miles per hour

Step4: Calculate bear's distance

$\text{Distance} = 13 \times 20 = 260$ meters

Step5: Calculate wombat's distance

$\text{Distance} = 2100 \times 15 = 31500$ feet
(Note: Question 6 is incomplete, so no answer is provided for it.)

Answer:

1. 108 m/s
2. 1.6 km/min
3. 13 miles per hour
4. 260 meters
5. 31500 feet
