The formula is a= chance in velocity/time
A=10-0/2
A=10/2
A=5 m/s^2 (meters per second squared)

Answer :

Acceleration of the cat is $a=5\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of the cat, u =0 (at rest)

Final speed of the cat, v = 10

Time taken, t = 2 s

Let a is the acceleration of the car. We know that the rate of change of velocity of an object is called its acceleration. Mathematically, it is given by :

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$a=\dfrac{10-0}{2}$

$a=5\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the cat was $5\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

The hole in the center of the washer will expand

explanation;

<em>A flat metal washer is heated. As the washer's temperature increases, what happens to the hole in the center? A flat metal washer is heated. As the washer's temperature increases, what happens to the hole in the center? The hole in the center will remain the same size. Changes in the hole cannot be determined without know the composition of the metal. The hole in the center of the washer will expand. The hole in the center of the washer will contract.</em>

this is an example of area expansivity.

coefficient of area expansivity is change in area per area per degree rise in temperature

a=dA/(A*dt)

as the temperature rises , there will be volumetric and area expansivity on the body. volume also increases because of the intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecule is now getting apart.
