Weddell seals make holes in sea ice so that they can swim down to forage on the ocean floor below. measurements for one seal showed that it dived straight down from such an opening, reaching a depth of 0.30 km in a time of 5.0 min. what is the speed of the diving seal in m/s?
a. 0.60 m/s b. 1.0 m/s c. 1.6 m/s d. 6.0 m/s e. 10 m/s

B. 1 m/s

Explanation:

Metric unit conversions:

0.3 km = 300m

5 minutes = 5*60 = 300 seconds

So if a seal can reach a depth of 300m in a time of 300 seconds, its diving speed is the distance divided by time duration

v = s/t = 300/300 = 1m/s

So B is the correct answer

1/0.14nm = 10^10/1.4 a lot

well, you would divide 135 by 33 to get your answer. then that is how many seconds it would take. boardman should fly about 132 m or 4.090909090909091 seconds.
