Answer:
2.34 m
Explanation:
The cat saw the pot for 0.25 s each time. use the second equation of motion to find the velocity of the pot.
x= ut + 0.5 at²
x = 2.00 m
t = 0.25 s
a = - g = -9.8 m/s²
2.00 -0 = u (0.25) - 0.5 (9.8) (0.25)²
⇒u = 9.225 m/s
Use the third equation of motion:
2as = v²-u²
at highest point, final velocity is zero. v = 0. a =-g = -9.8 m/s²
s = -(9.225)²/(-9.8×2) =4.34 m
The height above the window top:
4.34 m - 2 m = 2.34 m
