A cat moves from x = 10 m to x = -16 m in 4 seconds. What is the cat's velocity?
To calculate the cat's velocity, we need to divide the displacement by the time it took, since velocity is defined as the change in position divided by time.
The cat moved from x = 10 m to x = -16 m, which means it moved a distance of 10 m + 16 m = 26 m.
The time it took for the cat to move this distance was 4 seconds.
So the cat's velocity is:
velocity = displacement / time = 26 m / 4 s = 6.5 m/s
Therefore, the cat's velocity is 6.5 m/s.
