 A cat is being chased by a dog. Both are running in a straight line at constant speeds. The cat has a head start of 3.8 m. The

dog is running with a speed of 8.9 m/s and catches the cat after 6.0 s. How fast did the cat run?

In 6 secs, the dog covers-
S=vt
8.9*6 = 53.4 m.
In the same time, the cat covers, 53.4-3.8 = 49.6 m.
Thus, speed of the cat, v= s/t, 
= 49.6/6 = 8.267 m/s

A vertical spring has a mass hanging from it, which is displaced from the equilibrium position and begins to oscillate. At what
Orlov [11]

Answer:

the object has least potential energy at mean position of the SHM

Explanation:

If a block is connected with a spring and there is no resistive force on the system

In this case the total energy of the system is always conserved and it will change from one form to another form

So here we will say that

Kinetic energy + Potential energy = Total Mechanical energy

As we can say that total energy is conserved so here we have least potential energy when the system has maximum kinetic energy

So here we also know that at mean position of the SHM the system has maximum speed and hence maximum kinetic energy.

So the object has least potential energy at mean position of the SHM

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Rubber is an insulator.

Explanation:
