Answer:
t = 7,8 s
Explanation:
From the instant, the rabbit passes the cat. The cat star running acceleration of 0,5 m/s² .
When the cat arrives at the speed of 3,9 m/s the cat catches the rabbit
Then for the cat arrives at 3,9 m/s nedds
v = vo + a*t vo = 0 then v = a*t
3,9 ( m/s) = 0,5 ( m/s² ) * t
t = 7,8 s
v = 3,9 m/s =
3200÷0.22= 145.4545...N
(it is an infinite decimal)
The answer to this is easy once you look at the units for Joules. 1 Joule = 1 N.m (Newton.meter). The 'Newton' is the units of force that we are trying to find, and we know the meters is 2, from the question. So you have an 8Joule or 8N.m energy difference over 2 meters.
well if we know the meters, then the real question is written as:
8N.m = ?N x 2m
so just solve for N;
N = 8N.m / 2m = 4
So F = 4N
