The correct answer to the question is A) 35.3 J i.e the kinetic energy of the cat is 35.3 J.

CALCULATION:

As per the question, the mass of the cat m = 4.50 kg.

The cat sits on a ledge which is 0.800 m above the ground.

Hence, the height of the cat from the surface of earth h = 0.800 m.

We are asked to determine the kinetic energy of the cat when it just reaches the ground.

The potential energy of the cat at a height h is calculated as -

                      Potential energy P.E = mgh

                                                          = 4.50 × 9.8 × 0.800 J.

                                                          = 35.28 J

                                                          = 35.3 J

Here, g is called acceleration due to gravity. Its value is g = 9.8\ m/s^2

From law of conservation of energy, we know that energy is neither created nor destroyed. The total energy of a system is always constant, and energy changes from one form to another form.

When the cat is at certain height from the ground, it has potential energy. When it starts jumping, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. When it just reaches the ground, whole of its potential energy must have converted into kinetic energy.

Hence, the kinetic energy of the cat just before reaching ground = Potential energy of the cat at height 0.800 m above the ground.

Hence, the kinetic energy of the cat just before reaching the ground is 35.3 Joule.

Answer:

Lacks colored blood - Scorpion

Soft, unsegmented body - Octopus

A vertebrate - Bird

Lacks antennae - Starfish

Explanation:

Scorpion belongs to the Phylum Arthropoda of the Kingdom Animalia. All the organisms of this phylum lack coloured blood.

Octopus comes under the Phylum Molusca of the Kingdom Animalia. Soft, unsegmented body is the property of the organisms of this phylum.

Bird belongs to the Vertebrata class of the Phylum Chordata of Kingdom Animalia.

Starfish belongs to Echinodermata Phylum of the Kingdom Animalia. The organisms of this category do not posses antennae.

A Man Moved first a Distance of 1000 m in 25 second and 2.5 km in 50 second along a in straight line?​
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Average speed = 46.67 m/s

Explanation:

Given that the time taken in covering first 1000 m = 25 seconds.

The time taken in covering next 2.5 km = 50 seconds.

Total distance covered = 1000 m + 2500 m = 3500 m

Total time taken = 25+50=75 seconds

Average speed = Total distance covered / total time taken

= 3500/75 = 46.67 m/s
