To solve the problem of determining the angle at which the cat should run to catch the mouse, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Speeds**: - The speed of the mouse, \( V_m = 19 \, \text{m/s} \) (horizontal). - The speed of the cat, \( V_c = 20 \, \text{m/s} \). ...
