A cat accelerates from rest to 10 m/s
when it sees a dog. This takes 2
the cat?
seconds What is the acceleration of the cat ?

Answer 1

the acceleration of the cat is 5m/s square

Answer 2

To find the acceleration of the cat, you can use the formula a = (v-u)/t, where a is the acceleration, v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, and t is the time it takes for the acceleration to occur.

In this case, the initial velocity (u) is 0 m/s (since the cat starts at rest), the final velocity (v) is 10 m/s, and the time (t) is 2 seconds. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

a = (10 m/s - 0 m/s) / 2 s
= 10 m/s / 2 s
= 5 m/s^2

So the acceleration of the cat is 5 m/s^2.
