A black mamba snake has a length of 2.97 m2.97 m and a top speed of 3.24 m/s3.24 m/s . Suppose a mongoose and a black mamba find themselves nose to nose. In an effort to escape, the snake accelerates at 3.09 m/s23.09 m/s2 from rest. How much time does it take the snake to reach its top speed?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.917 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

length of a snake is 2.97 m

The speed of the snake is 3.24 m/s

The acceleration of the snake is 3.09 m/s²

We need to find the time taken by the snake to reach its top speed. Let t is the time.

Speed = distance/time

Here, distance = length of the snake

[tex]t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{2.97\ m}{3.24\ m/s}\\\\t=0.917\ s[/tex]

Hence, the time taken by the snake to reach its top speed is 0.917 seconds.
