Question

dentifying errors In the solution to a basic quanitative problem Study the problem and proposed solution below. Is the final answer correct? Then click the No mistakes button button in front of the line with the first mistake and correct the mistake. Note: don't worry about correcting the rest of the solution, after the first mistake Problem The velocity of an object is the distance it travels per unit time. Suppose the velocity of a gliding bird is measured to be 182. Calculate the time it will take the bird to travel 3.6 m. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol and the correct number of significant digits. Write down the definition of velocity. Solve for time. 3.6m Put in the data given. 182. cm-s isinacomsr(10cm) convert 182cm . s"( 10-2 m) t = 1.978 s Use the calculator Round to the correct number of significant digits. O No mistakes

Explanation / Answer

The velocity of gliding bird in m/s is 182/100 = 1.82 m/s ,time taken to cover 3.6 m is = 3.6/1.82 = 1.9780 sec ,using formula velocity = displacement / time ,so rounding of to 2 digit= 2.0 sec ,hence no mistake
