Answer:
Explanation:
The acceleration of the car is given by:
where
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
t is the time
Here we have to convert the velocities from mi/hr to m/s. Keeping in mind that
1 mi = 1609 m
1 h = 3600 s
We get:
While the time interval is
t = 4.0 s
Substituting,
Distance covered by the squirrel to look for an acorn :
d = ( 3 m/s ) × 10 s = 30 m.
Time taken to eat an Acron is 5 seconds.
Time taken to cover distance of 30 m with 2 m/s speed is :
Therefore, total time take to get back to where he started is ( 10+5+15 ) = 30 s.
Hence, this is the required solution.
