h = 0.5g*t^2 = 2.4 m.
4.9t^2 = 2.4
t^2 = 0.490
Tf = 0.7 s.
Dx = Xo * Tf = 4.8m/s * 0.7s = 3.36 m from the table.
Tom the cat is chasing Jerry the mouse across
a table surface 2.4 m off the floor. Jerry steps
out of the way at the last second, and Tom
slides off the edge of the table at a speed of
4.8 m/s.
Where will Tom strike the floor? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s
