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.
What was the cat’s speed when it slid off the table? The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2 .
Answer in units of m/s.

Answer:

2.63 m/s

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> identify the given parameters

height, H = 1.2 m

horizontal distance, d = 1.3 m

initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

acceleration due to gravity, = 9.81 m/s²

time, t = ?

the cat's speed, v = ?

<u>Step 2:</u> calculate the time it took the cat to reach a height of 1.2 m

H = ut +\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Since u = 0, the equation reduces to;

H =\frac{1}{2}gt^2, re-arrange this equation to obtain 't'

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} \\

t = \sqrt{\frac{2*1.2}{9.81}} \\

t = 0.495 s

<u>Step 3:</u> calculate the speed it took the cat to reach horizontal distance of 1.3m

d = v*t

v = d/t

v = 1.3/0.495

v = 2.63 m/s

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Explanation: RADIUS OF EARTH = 6400X1000m =

ACC DUE GRAVITY ABOVE SURFACE OF EARTH = g' =2.45 m/s^2

ACC DUE GRAVITY ON SURFACE OF EARTH =g= 9.8 m/s^2

A/C TO FORmULA

g'/g=1-2h/Re

g'/g +2h/Re = 1

2h/Re =1- g'/g

2h= (1- g'/g)Re

2h=(1-2.45 /9.8)

6400X1000

2h = (0.75)6400X1000

2h = 4800000

h= 2400000

Two identical loudspeakers 2.30 m apart are emitting sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Abby is standi
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Abby is standing (4.5^2 + 2.3^2)^1/2   from the far speaker

D2 = 5.05 m from the far speaker

The difference in distances from the speakers is

5.05 - 4.5 = .55 m     (Let y be wavelength, lambda)

n y = 4.5

(n + 1) y = 5.05 for the speakers to be in phase at smallest wavelength

y = .55 m          subtracting equations

f = v / y = 340 / .55 = 618 / sec     should be the smallest frequency
