Example 1: A jaguar can reach speeds of 30 m/s. The fastest person is capable of reaching a speed of 10 m/s. Suppose the person and the jaguar are 500 m apart. Assume that they are both constantly at their top speed. How long does it take the jaguar to catch up to the person?

A distance of 60 meters separates two jetskis at Virginia Beach. Starting at rest, the jetskis accelerate at a constant rate of 0.2 m/s2 towards each other.Starting at a midpoint between the two jetskis, a porpoise is seen swimming from one jetski to the other at a constant speed of 16 m/s. The porpoise continues swimming back and forth between the jetskis until they crash together.a) What is the total distance the porpoise travelled? b) what is the speed of the jetskis when they crash together?
