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.
