Question

a cloud drifted above an airplane that was flying at 5,300 meters per minute. in 10.4 minutes, the cloud moved 1,820 meters to the east at a constant velocity. what was the clouds velocity? write your answer as a whole number. meters per minute to the east submit

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for velocity

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

Step2: Substitute the given values

Here, \(d = 1820\) meters and \(t=10.4\) minutes. So, \(v=\frac{1820}{10.4}\).

Step3: Perform the division

\(\frac{1820}{10.4}=\frac{1820\times10}{10.4\times10}=\frac{18200}{104}\).
\(18200\div104 = 175\).

Answer:

\(175\)
