Can y’all please help

The cat's speed when it slid off the table was 2.53 m/s

Explanation:

Horizontal Motion

When an object is thrown horizontally at a speed v, from a height h, it describes a curved path ruled by gravity, until it hits the ground.

the range or maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object can be calculated as follows:

The situation described in the problem fits into the concept of a horizontal launch when the cat slides off the table and gets to the ground some distance ahead.

It's given the range as d=1.3m and the height h=1.3 m, thus we can find the cat's speed by solving the equation for v:

Where

Substituting values:

Calculating:

v = 2.53 m/s

The cat's speed when it slid off the table was 2.53 m/s
