Given:
Cougar speed = 9.2 m/s
Deer speed = 6.4 m/s
Initial distance = 50m
Required:
When will the cougar catch up to the deer?
Solution:
To solve the problem, we can use the formula:
speed = distance/time
rearranging the equation,
time = distance/speed
substituting values,
time = 50m/(9.2 m/s - 6.4m/s)
time = 17.9 sec
Time is approximately 18 seconds. Thus, it is true that the cougar will catch up to the deer in 18 seconds.
