The cat has two directions of motions:
The horizontal motion = Dx = 2.2 m
The vertical motion = Dy = -1.3 m (negative sign indicates that the cat is falling)
a = 9.8 m/sec^2
Vy = zero (since you are not moving up)

From the laws of motion:
<span>Dy = Vyt + 0.5ayt^2 
</span>-1.3 = 0(t) + 0.5(-9.8)t^2
<span>t = 0.52s
</span>
Then, again using the laws of motion (but for the horizontal direction this time)
Dx = Vxt 
<span>2.2 = Vx0.52 </span>
<span>Vx = 2.2/0.52 </span>
<span>= 4.23 m/s 
</span>
<span>Therefore the cat's speed when it slid off the table is 4.23 m/s horizontally.</span>

In an economy, the demand for labor is given by the equation W = 15 - (1/200) L and the supply of labor is given by the equation
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

the equilibrium wage rate is 10  and the equilibrium quantity of labor is 1000 workers

Explanation:

The equilibrium wage rate and the equilibrium quantity of labor are found as the point where the equation of demand intercepts the equation of supply, so the equilibrium quantity of labor is:

W_{Demand} = W_{Supply}

15 - (1/200) L = 5 + (1/200) L

15 - 5 =  (1/200) L +  (1/200) L

10 = (2/200) L

(10*200)/2 = L

1000 = L

Then, the equilibrium wage rate is calculated using either the equation of demand for labor or the equation of supply of labor. If we use the equation of demand for labor, we get:

W = 15 - (1/200) L

W = 15 - (1/200) 1000

W = 10

Finally, the equilibrium wage rate is 10 and the equilibrium quantity of labor is 1000 workers
