A snake slithers up a giant sand dune at 2 m/s. How far will it have moved in a minute?
If the snake is slithering up a giant sand dune at a speed of 2 m/s, we can calculate how far it will have moved in a minute by using the formula:
Distance = Speed × Time
In this case, the speed is 2 m/s and the time is 1 minute. However, we need to convert the time from minutes to seconds since the speed is given in meters per second.
1 minute = 60 seconds
So, the distance the snake will have moved in a minute can be calculated as:
Distance = 2 m/s × 60 s = 120 meters
Therefore, the snake will have moved 120 meters in a minute.
A snake slithers up a giant sand dune at 2 m/s. How far will it have moved in a minute?
1. 30 m
2. 2 m
3. 240 m
4. 0.033 m
To calculate the distance the snake will have moved in a minute, we can use the formula:
Distance = Speed × Time
In this case, the speed is 2 m/s and the time is 1 minute. However, we need to convert the time from minutes to seconds since the speed is given in meters per second.
1 minute = 60 seconds
So, the distance the snake will have moved in a minute can be calculated as:
Distance = 2 m/s × 60 s = 120 meters
Therefore, the correct answer is option 3: 120 meters.
