Answer:
The speed of the ant is 6 [tex]\frac{cm}{min}[/tex]
Explanation:
Speed is a magnitude that expresses the relationship between the space traveled by an object, the time used for it and its direction. In other words, velocity relates change in position (or displacement) with time by:
[tex]speed=\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]
In this case:
- speed= ?
- distance= 1 mm
- time= 1 second
Replacing:
[tex]speed=\frac{1 mm}{1 second}[/tex]
Being 1 mm equivalent to 0.1 cm and 1 seconds equal to 0.01667 minutes then:
[tex]speed=\frac{1 mm}{1 second}=\frac{0.1 cm}{0.01667 min}[/tex]
speed = 6 [tex]\frac{cm}{min}[/tex]
The speed of the ant is 6 [tex]\frac{cm}{min}[/tex]
