Question

in a garden, an earthworm crawled 104 millimeters north in 10.0 seconds at a constant velocity. while the earthworm was crawling, it was passed by a butterfly flying at 1,500 millimeters per second. what was the earthworms velocity?
write your answer to the tenths place.

millimeters per second to the north

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for velocity

Velocity \(v=\frac{d}{t}\), where \(d\) is the distance and \(t\) is the time.

Step2: Substitute the given values

Given \(d = 104\) millimeters and \(t=10.0\) seconds. Then \(v=\frac{104}{10.0}\).

Step3: Calculate the value

\(v = 10.4\) millimeters per second.

Answer:

\(10.4\)
