Solve: 1. The velociraptor spots your from 40 meters away and attacks, accelerating at 4m/s[sup]2[/sup] up to it's top speed of 25 m/s. When it spots you, you begin to flee, quickly reaching your top speed of 6 m/s. How far can you get before you're caught and devoured? 2. You are at the center of a 20m equilateral triangle with a raptor at each corner. The top raptor has a wounded leg and is limited to a speed of 10 m/s. The raptors will run toward you. At what angle should you run to maximize the time you stay alive?

Oh boy, there's nothing I'd rather do than do your homework for you. These are exceptionally simple constant acceleration problems. [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematic_equations#Equations_of_uniformly_accelerated_motion]I'm sure you already have these, though[/URL]

lol at xkcd reference.

Do you actually know how to do those problems or are you trying to see if we can do them?
