2. A cat chases a mouse across a 1.0 m high table. The mouse steps out of the way, and the cat slides off the table at a
speed of 5.0 m/s.
a. How long will it take the cat to hit the floor?
b. How far from the base of the table will the cat land?

Answer:

Below

Explanation:

Here is what we are given in the problem :

dy = - 1.0 m (this is negative because the cat falls)

Vx = 5.0 m/s

We can use this equation to find the time that it will take the cat to fall :

     t = √-2dy / g

     t = √-2(-1.0) / 9.8

     t = √0.20408

     t = 0.45 (round this to 2 sig figs)

    t = 0.5 seconds

Now we can find dx (distance in the x direction)

     dx = vx (t)

     dx = (5.0m/s)(0.45s)

     dx = 2.258769 m

     dx = 2.3 m

Hope this helps! Best of luck <3
