Hello,
I want to know how long time a running runner needs to reach a point, when he is initially running in the wrong direction.
I'd like to do this with minimal calculation, so an approximation at 10% would be enough.
To even complicate the problem more, the runner can decelerate faster than accelerate.
data used :
- initial velocity
- initial position
- target position
- acceleration
- deceleration
- maximal velocity
The runner will always accelerate in the direction of the target position, and hopefully he won't run fast enough to enter in orbit around it... ;)
I tried to look for a solution on Google & these forums, but after more than 20 min still found nothing (especially coz I'm not sure of the right keywords to use :-S )
Thanks in advance for any help..! :)
