Answered

a kitten sits in a lightweight basket near the edge of a table. a person accidentally knocks the basket off the table. as the kitten and basket fall, the kitten rolls, turns, kicks, and catches the basket in its claws. the basket lands on the floor with the kitten safely inside. if air resistance is negligible, what is the acceleration of the kitten-basket system while the kitten and basket are in midair?

Answer :

[tex]9.8m/s^{2}[/tex] is the acceleration of the kitten-basket system while the kitten and basket are in mid-air.

When the object is falling i.e. when the kitten and basket are falling then on both of them the pull of gravity is the same i.e. [tex]9.8m/s^{2}[/tex]. So, here also when the kitten and basket fall with the kitten inside the basket, the acceleration of the kitten-basket system while the kitten and basket are in mid-air is [tex]9.8m/s^{2}[/tex] . The velocity of fall increases, but acceleration changes.
