Question
Brownie, a dog, running at a constant speed of 1.36 m/s, decided to run towards the
center of the road. After 1.5 s, a parked car started moving at a constant rate of 3.1 m/s?
perpendicular to Brownie's path, towards the center of the road. If their shortest
distance is initially 155.6 m apart
• Prove by calculation if Brownie will be hit by the car after 1 minute or not.
• If Gavin, Brownie's owner, is standing 1.5 m behind the dog, at what acceleration
should he run to catch Brownie after 5 seconds? (Ans.: 0.66 m/s2)
