What is the shortest possible time in which a bacterium could travel a distance of 8.4 cm across a petri dish at a constant speed of 3.5 mm/s?

Respuesta :

speed of the bacterium is 3.5 mm/s

[tex]v = 3.5 mm/s[/tex]

total distance traveled by bacterium = 8.4 cm

[tex]d = 8.4 cm = 84 mm[/tex]

time take to cover the distance

[tex]t = \frac{d}{v}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{84}{3.5} = 24 s[/tex]

so it will take 24 s to move this distance
