Answer: 93.6 meters per minute to the south
Explanation:
Time taken by humpback whale = 12.5 minutes
Displacement = 1,170. Meters South
The whale’s velocity = ?
Recall that velocity is the rate of change of displacement per unit time.
i.e Velocity = displacement / Time taken
Velocity = 1170metres / 12.5 minutes
= 93.6 meters per minute
Thus, the whale’s velocity is 93.6 meters per minute to the south
