Can you please help me with this problem??

Question

A snail moves with an average velocity of 0.01 ms^-1 . How much time will it take the snail to travel a distance of one mile? A mile is roughly 1.6 kilometer.

a- More than 44 hours.

b- 160 sec.

c- Almost 28 hours.

d- 100 sec.

e- Snails will never travel a mile.

Answer 1

You know v_avg = total displacement divided by total time or v = d/t and t = d/v

You are given v in m/s and d in miles t in hours is likely. You need the units to mesh. It is relatively easy to use factor labeling to put m/s into mile/hr and then use the equation to get t in hours.

.01 m/s (1 km/1000m)(1 mile/1.609 km)( 3600s/1hr) = mi/hr

I leave the calculation to you. Please consider a tutor.
