(URGENT) A dog is resting against a pole to which he is attached with a 24 meter chain. He watches a cat approach to within 8 meters of the pole and promptly gives chase. The dog runs at 12 meters per second and the cat runs at 10 meters per second. Which does the dog reach first, the car or the end of the chain?

Answer: End of chain

Explanation:

Dog is at pole and cat is at 8 meters if the dog runs at 12 meters a sec and cat runs at 10 in 2 secs the dog will reach end of chain. But the dog needs 4 secs to reach cat because the dog runs 2 meters a second faster than the cat. Hope it Helps!
