In order to pass a physical education class at a university, a student must run 1.0 mi in 13.3 min. After running for 10 min, she still has 670 yd to go. If her maximum acceleration is 0.15 m/s?, can she make it? (Assume the student runs at a constant speed for the first 10.0 min.) O Yes O No If the answer is no, determine what acceleration she would need to be successful. (If the answer is yes, enter 0.) |m/s²

A runner of mass 50.1 kg stařts from rest and accelerates with a constant acceleration of 1.1 m/s2 until she reaches a velocity of 6.5 m/s. She then continues running at this constant velocity. How long in seconds does the runner take to travel 104 m? 载

A cheetah at rest notices a gazelle standing at a distance of 150.0 m. At the same time the gazelle notices the cheetah. The gazelle accelerates at 2.0 m/s2 for 8.0 s, after which it has reached top speed. The cheetah accelerates at 2.5 m/s2 until it has reached its top speed of 115.2 km/h. It can only continue at this speed for 35 s. Will the cheetah catch the gazelle? If so, when and where?
