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>
The current passing through a circuit consisting of a battery of 12 V and resistor of 2 ohms is 6 Ampere
.
Explanation:
- Assume the wires are ideal with zero resistance.
- The current passing through the circuit will be
I = V/R = 12/2 = 6.000 A.
