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

do comment in case any doubt, will reply for sure. Goodluck

    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)...
