Question

You have a cat who has a mass of 10kg and is chasing a mouse with an acceleration of 10 m/s2. If it runs into a wall what force will be exerted by the cat?

Answer 1

Given:

• mass of cat ( m ) = 10 kg

• Acceleration ( a ) = 10 m/s²

To find out:

If it runs into a wall what force will be exerted by the cat?

Formula used:

Force = mass × acceleration

Solution:

Force = mass × acceleration

Now, Putting these values of m and a in the above equation.

we get:

F = 10 × 10

= 100 N

Thus, the force will be exerted by the cat is 100 N.
