ok makes sense. however, i do not understand how to utilize the accelerations? would the equation look like this: x/.3=88-x/.2?

So t1=t2 . Would velocity be calculated for A & B? and then find the displacement for each?

Homework Statement Two people start from rest at 88m apart and walk directly toward each other. Person A has a magnitude of .3m/s^2, while person B has a magnitude of .2m/^2. Relative to person A's starting point, where do the people coincide? Homework Equations How to determine...

Well you are right- It is an art. I'll keep trying, although the struggle will never end...btw you must have oodles of patience to deal with all the noob questions, or more specifically, the noobs doing the questions.

Ah damn slightly shocked i didn't notice that. so dog is moving for 1600s at 4.5m/s. d=1600s*4.5m/s=7200m Certainly is a time consuming and painful shift. Thanks though!

so find the time for both? t=4000/2.5= 1600 & t=4000/4.5=888.9 then the difference between the two, 1600-888.9=711.1. I'll use this time to find the dogs distance? 711.1*4.5...and the rest is the same a my last post. my apologies for my complex "reasoning". got to work out the bad before you...

I am not sure how to word this but here's what i got...1777.75(distance the women is from the river once the has arrived)/2.5m/s(her rate)=711.1s(time it will take for her to arrive). Then i used that time to solve for the dogs D- d=4.5m/s*711.1s= 3199.95m. If i take this distance and add to it...

So would the distance the dog has to travel 4000m-2222.25(where women is when dog reaches river) So d=4.5m/s*888.9s? that brings me back to the total distance. Or would d=4.5m/s*395.1s? the 395.1s obtained by taking 4000m-2222.25m=1777.75m then t=1777.75m/4.5m/s=395.1s? Am I on the right...

Homework Statement A women and her dog are out for a morning run to the river, which is located 4km away. The women runs at 2.5m/s in a straight line. The dog is unleashed and runs back and forth at 4.5m/s between his owner and the river, until the women reaches the river. What is the total...

Thanks for the replies but I've had to move on as the class is quickly progressing

So i have drawn what i think is correct. Do i now separate the large triangle into two separate ones and then solve Hypotenuse for triangle A-B?

Vector and cosine law?? Homework Statement Three deer, A, B, and C, are grazing in a field. deer B is located 62m from deer A at an angle of 51 north of west. deer C is located 77 degree north of east relative to deer A. The distance between deer B and C is 95m. What is the distance between...
