- Diesel tends to wait until the rabbit is closest before starting to chase. If the rabbit is traveling across the yard in a straight line, we can assume the simulation will start when the rabbit is located at [x (0), y (0)] = [x , 0] and have a velocity of [x ̇ (0), y ̇ (0)] = [0, C ], where RR0 RRR CR is the maximum speed at which the rabbit can run. Note, we are ignoring acceleration here, we are just assuming the rabbit has already accelerated to its max velocity and stays there. So, the velocity vector can change direction, but not magnitude. And the rabbit will change direction, so the velocity will change direction. From my observation, it does so when Diesel gets within a certain distance of the rabbit. But to keep it simple, suppose the rabbit just turns 90 degrees to the right at a fixed rate of 90 degrees/second starting at t = 2. Write the equations for the rabbit’s velocity, i.e. x ̇R(t) and y ̇R(t).arrow_forward19. You have been hired as an expert witness by an attorney CR for a trial involving a traffic accident. The attorney's client, the plaintiff in this case, was traveling eastbound toward an intersection at 13.0 m/s as measured just before the acci- dent by a roadside speed meter, and as seen by a trustworthy witness. As the plaintiff entered the intersection, his car was struck by a northbound driver, the defendant in this case, driving a car with identical mass to the plaintiff's. The vehicles stuck together after the collision and left parallel skid marks at an angle of 0 ured by accident investigators. The defendant is claiming that he was traveling within the 35-mi/h speed limit.

- As a body is projected to a high altitude above the earths surface, the variation of the acceleration of gravity with respect to altitude yy must be taken into account. Neglecting air resistance, this acceleration is determined from the formula a=−g0[R2/(R+y)2]a=−g0[R2/(R+y)2], where g0g0 = 9.81 m/s2 m/s 2 is the constant gravitational acceleration at sea level, RR = 6356 kmkm is the radius of the earth, and the positive direction is measured upward. With what velocity does the particle strike the earth if it is released from rest at an altitude y0y0 = 400 kmkm?arrow_forwardAs a body is projected to a high altitude above the earths surface, the variation of the acceleration of gravity with respect to altitude yy must be taken into account.
