Solution

The velocity of an object is calculated by dividing the distance it travels by the time it takes to travel that distance. In this case, the vulture flew 95 meters in 3.8 seconds.

Step 1: Identify the distance and time. Distance (d) = 95 meters Time (t) = 3.8 seconds

Step 2: Use the formula for velocity. Velocity (v) = Distance (d) / Time (t)

Step 3: Substitute the given values into the formula. v = 95m / 3.8s

Step 4: Calculate the velocity. v = 25 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the vulture was 25 meters per second towards the east.

A 2.70 kg bird is flying past a tree that has a 4.60 kg chipmunk in it. The chipmunk decides to jump on the bird so he can fly too. As the bird is flying past the tree, the chipmunk leaps off at 8.90 m/s in the same direction the bird is flying and lands on the bird. Immediately after the collision, the bird and chipmunk together have a speed of 11.6 m/s. What was the initial speed of the bird? 15.2 m/s 31.4 m/s 16.2 m/s 5.99 m/s
