Answer:
3.0625 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
✓She slides at a rate of 8 m/s downward
✓after 3 seconds is 5 m off of the ground
We can calculate the the number of seconds she will use to get to the ground by
Velocity= distance/time
Time= distance/ velocity
=5/8 seconds
=0.625seconds
To know how many seconds it will take her to slide to the ground from the top can be calculated as
( 3seconds + 0.625 seconds)
= 3.0625 seconds
