ID Kinematics: Chasing a Mouse

In summary, an old fox sees a mouse traveling at 1.3 km/h and begins chasing it with an acceleration of 0.45 m/s^2. The elapsed time between the fox starting to chase and the mouse being captured is 0.8 seconds, and the distance the mouse would have traveled before being captured is 0.411 meters.

Are we supposed to assume that the fox see's the mouse when the mouse is right under the fox's feet?

Please don't just post what you got for the answer, no one has any clue how you got those answers if all you do is throw a couple numbers at us. Show your work and it'll be easier to help you.
 

1. How do you define "ID Kinematics"?

ID Kinematics is a scientific method of studying the movements and interactions between two animals. It involves identifying and analyzing the specific body movements and positions of each animal in relation to one another.

2. Why is it important to study ID Kinematics with 2 animals?

Studying ID Kinematics with 2 animals can provide valuable insights into their behaviors, communication, and social interactions. It can also help us understand how different species coexist and adapt to their environments.

3. What techniques are used to study ID Kinematics with 2 animals?

Some common techniques used to study ID Kinematics with 2 animals include video recording, motion tracking, and computer modeling. These methods allow researchers to capture and analyze the movements of the animals in detail.

4. How does ID Kinematics differ from traditional animal behavior studies?

Traditional animal behavior studies usually focus on the behavior of a single animal, while ID Kinematics specifically looks at the interactions and movements between two animals. It also utilizes more advanced technology and analysis methods.

5. What are some potential applications for ID Kinematics with 2 animals?

ID Kinematics with 2 animals can have various applications, such as improving animal welfare in captivity, understanding predator-prey dynamics, and studying the evolution of social behaviors. It can also aid in conservation efforts by providing insights into the interactions between different species in their natural habitats.
