If a polar bear runs at a speed of about 8.3 m/s, how far will it travel in 10.0 hours

Answer: 298800 metres

Explanation:

Given that:

speed of polar bear = 8.3 m/s

Distance traveled = ?

Time taken = 10.0 hours

Since the SI unit of time is seconds, convert time in hours to seconds

1 hour = 60 minutes & 1 minute = 60 sec

So, 10.0 hours = (10 x 60 x 60)

= 36000 seconds

Apply the formula:

speed = distance traveled / time taken

8.3 m/s = distance traveled / 36000 seconds

Distance traveled = 8.3m/s x 36000 sec

= 298800 metres

Thus, the polar bear traveled 298800 metres.
