Explanation:
Velocity of cat with respect to mouse
Since the vertical distance between cat and mouse is decreasing with time,
Horizontal velocity of cat with respect to mouse
In time T mouse has covered distance VT
From equation (2) and (3)
In this time, cat travels d/2 distance. (From the figure)
∴ Distance between cat and mouse at time instant T
Distance can never be negative
