The length of the black mamba snake is 2.80 m and has a top speed of 4.80 m/s.Supposea mongoose and a black mamba find themselves nose to nose. In an effort to escape, the snakeacceleratespast the mongoose at 9.46 m/s² from rest.Time taken by the black mamba to accelerate past the mongoose can be calculated using the following kinematic equation: V² = U² + 2asWhereV = Finalvelocity= 4.80 m/sU = Initial velocity = 0 (from rest)a =Acceleration= 9.46 m/s²s= Distance covered by the black mambaLet's calculate s:Now, the total distance covered by the black mamba before its tail passes the mongoose's nose is: Distance = Length of black mamba + Distance covered by black mamba Distance = 2.80 + 0.48= 3.28 m Time taken by the black mamba to cover this distance is: Time = Distance / Speed Time = 3.28 / 4.80= 0.6833 seconds, themongoosehas 0.6833 seconds to react before the black mamba's tail passes the mongoose's nose.To know aboutacceleratesvisit:brainly.com/question/32899180#SPJ11...
