The three-toed sloth is the slowest moving land mammal. on the ground, the sloth moves at an average speed of 0.037 m/s, considerably slower m/s? than the giant tortoise, which walks at 0.076 m/s. – after 12 minutes of walking, how much further would the tortoise have gone relative to the sloth

tortoise distance w.r.t sloth is 28.08 m further

Explanation:

given data

average speed v1 = 0.037 m/s

walking speed v2 = 0.076 m/s

time t = 12 min = 720 seconds

to find out

how much tortoise have gone wrt sloth

solution

we find here first tortoise walk that is

distance d1 = v2 × t

distance d1 =  0.076  × 720

distance d1 = 54.72 m

and sloth walk distance

distance d2 = v1 × t

distance d2 = 0.037 × 720

distance d2 = 26.64 m

and so

tortoise distance w.r.t sloth = d1 - d2

tortoise distance w.r.t sloth = 54.72 - 26.64 = 28.08

tortoise distance w.r.t sloth is 28.08 m further

i don't know that i agree with that but what's the question ?
