What is uniform motion?

The motion of the object when it is moving with constant velocity or velocity is not changing with time, is called the uniform motion.

Starting from its nest, an eagle flies at constant speed for 2.8 min due east, then 4.0 min due north. From there, the eagle flies directly to its nest at the same speed.

Using the Pythagoras theorem,

Time = √ [(2.8)² + (4.0)²]

Time = 11.96 minutes

Thus, the eagle in the air for 11.96 minutes.
