Solution

To find the helicopter's velocity, we need to use the formula for velocity which is distance divided by time.

Step 1: Identify the distance and time from the problem. The helicopter flew 256 meters in 20.0 seconds.

Step 2: Plug the values into the formula. Velocity = Distance / Time = 256 meters / 20.0 seconds = 12.8 meters per second.

So, the helicopter's velocity was 12.8 meters per second.

The pigeon was flying faster than the helicopter at a speed of 22 meters per second.
