A cat runs along a straight line with a constant velocity of magnitude v. A dog chases the cat such that the velocity of the dog is always directed towards the cat. The speed of a dog is u and always constant. At the instant, both are separated by distance x and their velocities are mutually perpendicular, the magnitude of the acceleration of the dog is.

a) u2/x b) uv/x c) v2/x d) (u2 + v2)/x Answer: b) uv/x Solution: The velocity of cat = v Speed of dog = u Let the velocity of the dog... View Article
