Answer #1

time taken by wolf to reach the safety cabin

t = distance / speed

= (25 + 100)/ 1.5

= 83.33 seconds

Velocity needed to be safe

v = 100/ 83.33

v = 1.2 m/s

    A rabbit is traveling at a steady 6 m/s and (without knowing it) passes a wolf. The wolf takes off at the instant the rabbit passes it, accelerating at a steady rate of 2.0 m/s^2. How much time elapses before the wolf is moving as fast as the rabbit? How far is the wolf from the rabbit when it reaches this speed?

    Large cockroaches can run as fast as 1.50 m/s in short bursts. Suppose you turn on the light in a cheap motel and see one scurrying directly away from you at a constant 1.50 m/s. If you start 0.95 m behind the cockroach with an initial speed of 0.90 m/s toward it, what minimum constant acceleration would you need to catch up with it when it has traveled 1.25 m, just short of safety under a counter? a) 4.16 b)...
