A boa constrictor with a length of 2.3 meters crawls at a speed of 0.5 m / s. A parrot jumps along the boa constrictor

A boa constrictor with a length of 2.3 meters crawls at a speed of 0.5 m / s. A parrot jumps along the boa constrictor on the ground at a speed of 0.6 m / s. How many seconds does it take for a parrot to jump from tail to head of a boa constrictor?

To find the time spent by the parrot to move along the boa constrictor, we will use the formula: t = L / ΔV = L / (Vп – Vу).

The values of the variables: L – the length of the boa constrictor (L = 2.3 m); Vp is the jumping speed of the parrot (Vp = 0.6 m / s); Vу – the speed of movement of the boa constrictor (Vу = 0.5 m / s).

Calculation: t = L / (Vу + Vп) = 2.3 / (0.6 – 0.5) = 23 s.

Answer: A parrot can jump from tail to head of a boa constrictor in 23 seconds.
