The leaves, lifted by the wind, in 5 minutes, moving evenly, moved to a distance of 7500 m. What is the wind speed?

Initial data: t (time of moving leaves by the wind) = 5 min; S (leaf movement) = 7500 m.

SI system: t = 5 min = 5 * 60 s = 300 s.

To calculate the wind speed, it is necessary to divide the movement of the leaves by the time during which this movement took place.

V = S / t.

Let’s do the calculation:

V = 7500/300 = 25 m / s.

Answer: The wind speed is 25 m / s.
