Answer:
the cat is 0.4238 m in front of the dog as it leaps through the window
Explanation:
Given that;
acceleration a = 0.85 m/s²
speed v = 1.40 m/s
the cat is at rest, so initial velocity u = 0
we know that, since the cat is sleeping on the floor in the middle of a 2.8-m-wide room, it needs to cover (2.8 m / 2 ) distance to get to the window;
using the second equation equation of motion;
s = ut + 1/2 at²
we substitute
2.8/2 = 0×t + 1/2 × 0.85 × t²
1.4 = 0.425t²
t = √( 1.4 / 0.425 )
t = 1.81497 sec
now, at acceleration 0.10 m/s²
the dog has to cover the distance;
s = ut + 1/2 at²
s = ( 1.4 × 1.81497) - 1/2 × 0.10 × 1.81497²
s = 2.540958 - 0.1647
s = 2.3762 m
The cant in front of the dog as it leaps through the window;
distance = 2.8 m - 2.3762 m
distance = 0.4238 m
Therefore, the cat is 0.4238 m in front of the dog as it leaps through the window
Explanation:
Contact force is any force that requires contact. An object that exerts a force on another object by touching it is exerting a contact force. Examples of contact force are friction and normal force.
Examples of a non-contact force are gravity and magnetism.
In order to find which rational number is between 0 and 1, let's convert them into their decimal form:
Looking at the numbers in their decimal form, we can see that the number between 0 and 1 is one-fourth, therefore the correct option is the second one.
