A cat chases a mouse across a 1.2 m high table. The mouse steps out of the way, and the cat slides off the table and strikes the

floor 1.3 m from the edge of the table.

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>

You are on a 4 m high ladder and throw a ball upwards at 12 m/s. It lands on the ground below the ladder.
Gelneren [198K]

a) 2.75 s

The vertical position of the ball at time t is given by the equation

y= h+ut-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 4 m is the initial height of the ball

u = 12 m/s is the initial velocity of the ball (upward)

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (downward)

We can find the time t at which the ball reaches the ground by substituting y=0 into the equation:

0 = 4 + 12t - 4.9 t^2

This is a second-order equation. By solving it for t, we find:

t = -0.30 s

t = 2.75 s

The first solution is negative, so we discard it; the second solution, t = 2.75 s, is the one we are looking for.

b) -15.0 m/s (downward)

The final velocity of the ball can be calculated by using the equation:

v=u-gt

where

u = 12 m/s is the initial (upward) velocity

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (downward)

t is the time

By subsisuting t = 2.75 s, we find the velocity of the ball as it reaches the ground:

v=12 -(9.8)(2.75)=-15.0 m/s

And the negative sign means the direction is downward.
