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>

Radiation makes it impossible to stand close to a hot lava flow. Calculate the rate of heat transfer by radiation from 1.00 m^2
Karolina [17]

Answer:

3.045 x 10^5 Joule per second

Explanation:

A = 1 m^2

T = 1250 degree C = 1250 + 273 = 1523 K

To = 34 degree C = 34 + 273 = 307 K

e = 1

Stefan's constant, σ = 5.67 x 10^-8 watt per meter squared per kelvin to the fourth

Use of Stefan's Boltzmann law

Energy radiated per unit time

E = σ A e (T^4 - To^4)

E = 5.67 x 10^-8 x 1 x 1 (1523^4 - 307^4)

E = 3.045 x 10^5 Joule per second

A ball is thrown into the air with an initial upward velocity of 60 ft/s. Its height (h) in feet after t seconds is given by the
zavuch27 [327]
To answer the question, directly substitute the value given for t to the given function of height.
                     h = -16t² + 60t + 6
                     h = (-16)(3 s)² + (60)(3) + 6 = 42
Therefore, the height of the ball after 3 seconds is 42 ft.
