When a mantis shrimp strikes, its arm-club gets up to a velocity of 23 m/s moving away from its body. Scientists calculate the acceleration at 100,000 m/s/s.Calculate how long it takes the arm-club to get to 23 m/s.



Answer :

MathPhys

Answer:

0.23 ms

Explanation:

Acceleration (a) is the change in velocity (Δv) over time (Δt).

a = Δv / Δt

Plug in units and solve.

100,000 m/s = (23 m/s − 0 m/s) / Δt

Δt = 0.00023 s

Δt = 0.23 ms

It takes 0.23 milliseconds for the mantis shrimp's arm-club to reach a velocity of 23 m/s.
