the mouse is 20 m away from the burrow and can run at 3 m per sec . a cat spots the mouse and start running it at 6 m per sec . a] how long it will take the mouse to reach its burrow b] if the cat is X metre away from the mouse write an expression which tells how long it will take the cat to reach the burrow. c] if the cat pounces upon the mouse when it is about to enter its burrow find the value of X d] interpret your result Share with your friends Share 8 Sanjay Kumar Manjhi answered this Dear Student,Distance between mouse and burrow=20 mSpeed of mouse=3 m per secDistance between cat and burrow=(20+x) mSpeed of cat=6 m per secNow,a) Time=Distancespeed of mouse=203=6.67 secb) Time=Distancespeed of cat⇒t=20+x6 (here t is time)c) If cat pounces upon th emouse when it is about to enter the burrow. It means cat also need 6.67 sec to reach the burrow.So, put t=6.67 or 203 sec into result of part (b), we get;t=20+x6⇒203=20+x6⇒3(20+x)=20×6⇒60+3x=120⇒3x=120-60⇒3x=60⇒x=20So, the distance between mouse and cat is 20 m.d) Interpretation of results are done in each part already.Regards. 7 View Full Answer
