A bee flies to a flower 539 m due south of its hive. The bee’s speed in still air is 0.59 m/s, and there is a wind blowing toward the south at 0.2 m/s. How long will it take the bee to travel to the flower and back to the hive? Answer in units of s.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Time taken will be 682.27 sec    

Explanation:

We have given that a bee flies to a flower 539 m due to south of its hive

So distance d = 539 m

Speed of the bee = 0.59 m/sec

And wind is blowing in south at a speed of 0.2 m/sec

As both speed of bee and speed of wind both are in the same direction so net speed will be = 0.59 + 0.2 = 0.79 m/sec

We have to find the time

We know tat time is given by [tex]t=\frac{distance}{speed}=\frac{539}{0.79}=682.27sec[/tex]
