1. Tom, the cat, is chasing Jerry, the mouse. Jerry runs past Tom at 10.00 m/s. At the same time Jerry passes Tom, Tom, which was at rest, starts accelerating at 3.00 m/s². a) How long does it take for Tom to catch up with Jerry? b) What is the velocity of Tom when he catches up with Jerry? c) If there was a mouse hole located 2.1 meters away from Jerry when Tom began chasing Jerry, would Jerry make it to the hole without being caught? TOM 3.00 m/s2

passes Tom, Tom, which was at rest, starts accelerating at 3.00 m/s².
a) How long does it take for Tom to catch up with Jerry?
b) What is the velocity of Tom when he catches up with Jerry?
c) If there was a mouse hole located 2.1 meters away from Jerry when Tom began chasing Jerry,
would Jerry make it to the hole without being caught?
TOM 3.00 m/s2
JERRY
10.00 m/s
Constant velocity
