Study the problem and proposed solution below. Is the final answer correct? Then click the No mistakes button. Is the final answer wrong? Then click the button in front of the line with the first mistake and correct the mistake. Note: don't worry about correcting the rest of the solution, after the first mistake. Problem: The velocity of an object is the distance it travels per unit time. Suppose the velocity of a gliding bird is measured to be \( 158 . \frac{\mathrm{cm}}{\mathrm{s}} \). Calculate the time it will take the bird to travel \( 1.4 \mathrm{~m} \). Be sure your answer has a unit symbol and the correct number of significant digits. Solution: \( v=s t \) \( t=\frac{v}{s} \) \( t=\frac{158}{1.4 \times 10^{2}} 8 \) \( t=1.129 \ldots 8 \) \( t=1.1 \mathrm{~s} \) Write down the definition of velocity. Solve for time. Put in the data given. Use the calculator. Round to the correct number of significant digits. No mistakes 1Don't Know Submit Search

Problem: The velocity of an object is the distance it travels per unit time. Suppose the velocity of a gliding bird is measured to be 223 cm/s. Calculate the time it will take the bird to travel 4.9 m. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol and the correct number of significant digits. Solution: Write down the definition of velocity. Solve for time. Put in the data given. Use the calculator. Round to the correct number of significant digits. No mistakes

Inspired by Turd the Target (Physicsclassroom). Assume Birdman flies with a velocity of 26.0 m/s [+20.0°] and the target bucket is placed 105m from the start of the field. (a) How high should Birdman fly in order to hit the target (b) what is the impact velocity of the turd (don't forget direction!) (c) What is the maximum height of the turd? Note: [+20.0°] means 20.0° above the horizontal. In the simulation, the bird only flies horizontally. In this question the bird has both a vertical and horizontal component of its initial velocity.
