Question

A cat jumps horizontally off the edge of a table that is 0.62 m high. The velocity of the cat when it leaves the table is 0.61m/s.how far from the edge of the table does it land. ignore air resistance and use 9.8m/s^2 for acceleration due to gravity.

Answer 1

find the flight time ... 0.62 = 1/2 g t^2

use the time (t) to find the horizontal distance ... d = 0.61 t
