Complete Question:

A finch rides on the back of a Galapagos tortoise, which walks

at the stately pace of 0.060 m/s. After 1.5 minutes the finch tires of

the tortoise’s slow pace, and takes flight in the same direction for

another 1.5 minutes at 11 m/s.

What was the average speed of the  finch for this 3.0-minute interval?

Explanation:

Distance is calculated as:

First, we calculate the distance for the first 1.5 minutes

For the first 1.5 minutes, we have:

Convert 1.5 mins to seconds

Next, we calculate the distance for the next 1.5 minutes

Convert 1.5 mins to seconds

Total distance is:

The average speed for the 3.0 minute interval is:

Convert 3.0 minutes to seconds

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
