Question

one whale sang to communicate with another whale. the songs sound wave traveled 2,100 meters directly toward the second whale at a constant velocity. the sound wave took 1.4 seconds to move that distance. what was the sound waves velocity? write your answer as a whole number. meters per second directly toward the second whale

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for velocity

The formula for velocity \(v\) is \(v=\frac{d}{t}\), where \(d\) is distance and \(t\) is time.

Step2: Substitute the given values

Given \(d = 2100\) meters and \(t=1.4\) seconds. Substitute into the formula: \(v=\frac{2100}{1.4}\).

Step3: Perform the division

\(\frac{2100}{1.4}=\frac{21000}{14}=1500\)

Answer:

1500
