Given parameters:
Displacement of the seagull = 145m to the east
Time taken to cover the distance = 10s
Unknown:
Velocity = ?
Solution:
Velocity is one of the physical quantities. It is the speed in a specific direction. Hence, velocity is a vector quantity having both magnitude and direction.
So, mathematically;
Velocity = [tex]\frac{Displacement }{Time taken}[/tex]
Velocity = [tex]\frac{145}{10}[/tex] = 14.5m/s due east
The velocity of the seagull is 14.5m/s due east
