Question
A black mamba snake has a length of 3.30 m and a top speed of 4.90 m/s. Suppose a mongoose and a black mamba find themselves nose to nose. In an effort to escape, the snake accelerates past the mongoose at 7.82 m/s2 from rest.
How much time ?top does it take the snake to reach its top speed?
How far ?snake does the snake travel in that time?
How much time ?react does the mongoose have to react before the black mamba's tail passes the mongoose's nose?
