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>

In an eslastic ,the momentum is_______and the mechanical energy is​
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

In an elastic collision, the momentum is conserved and the mechanical energy is conserved too.

Explanation:

There are two types of collisions:

- Elastic collision: in an elastic collision, the total momentum before and after the collision is conserved; also, the total mechanical energy before and after the collision is conserved.

- Inelastic collision: in an inelastic collision, the total momentum before and after the colllision is conserved, while the total mechanical energy is not conserved (in fact, part of the energy is converted into other forms of energy such that thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces)

If a machine increases force it must apply the force over a long distance? True or false
Eduardwww [97]

Answer: The machine must apply the force over a shorter distance. That's because a machine doesn't change the amount of work and work equals force times distance. Therefore, if force increases, distance must decrease

FALSE

An object is pulled northward with a force of 10 n and southward with a force of 15 n. the magnitude of the net force on the obj
Anastaziya [24]

The correct option is (b) 5n

As a result, there is a net downward force of 5N operating on the object.

The resultant force is the force that results from adding the vector sums of all the forces operating on an item. The combined action of all the acting forces on the object produces the same effect as the resulting force. When determining the resulting force, the direction of the forces must be taken into account.

Given;

The northward force is Fn = 10N

The southward force is Fs = 15N

Required;

The net force on the mobile phone is Fnet = ?N

The object's weight exerts downward pressure, and upward resistance exerts upward pressure. The vector sum of these two forces will be the net force.

Fnet = Fs - Fn (Considering the direction downward as positive)

Fnet= 15N - 10N

Fnet = 5N

As a result, there is a net downward force of 5 N operating on the object.

John runs 120 meters in 10 seconds and then runs back to where he started in another 10 seconds. Which statement is true? Rememb
atroni [7]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

<em>A. His speed is 0 m/s </em>

<em>B. His velocity is 12 m/s </em>

<em>C. His velocity is 0 m/s </em>

<em>D. His acceleration is 12 m/s</em>

Total distance traveled by John = 120 + 120 = 240 meters

Total time taken by John to cover the distance = 10 + 10 = 20 s

<em>Average speed of John = total distance traveled/total time taken</em>

      = 240/20 = 12 m/s

Hence, the average speed/velocity of John throughout the journey is 12 m/s.

The correct option is B.
