Question

A snail crawls at a speed of 0.0004 m/s. How long will it take to climb a garden stick 1.6 m high ?
Can u tell me the answer with full steps

Answer 1

Answer: 4000 s

Given:

$\sf Speed\:of\:snail=0.0004\:m/s$

$\sf Height\:of\:the\:garden\:stick=1.6\:m$

To find:

$\sf The\:time\:taken\:by\:the\:snail.$

Explanation:

$\sf We\:know\:that,$

$\boxed{\sf Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}}$

$\sf OR,$

$\sf Time=\dfrac{Distance}{Speed}$

$\sf Substituting\:the\:values\:in\:the\:above\:formula\:we\:get,$

$\Rightarrow \sf Time=\dfrac{1.6}{0.0004}$

$\Rightarrow \boxed{\sf Time=4000\:s}$

Therefore, the time taken by the snail to climb 1.6 m high garden stick with a speed of 0.0004 m/s is 4000 s.

Answer 2

Answer:

4000 seconds

or

66.7 minutes approx.

Explanation:

Total distance = S = 1.6 meters

Speed of snail = v = 0.0004 meter/second

Total time covered by snail to climb the garden stick = t = ?

Solution:

$We know that\\\\S = v . t\\\\Rearranging equation,\\\\t = \frac{S}{v} \\\\Putting values,\\\\t = \frac{1.6 m}{0.0004 m/s} \\\\t = 4000 s\\\\t = 66.7 min( approx.)$
