Question

X Wile is off on a jog to train himself to catch the Roadrunner. He is jogging at a steady pace of 1.5 m/s but then the Roadrunner speeds past him at 34 m/s. How long does it take for Wile to reach the roadrunners velocity over a distance of 0.75 km?

Answer 1

Wile cannot reach the Roadrunner's velocity without acceleration. If the student intended to ask how long it takes Wile to cover 0.75 km at his current speed, the answer is 500 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about the time taken to reach a certain velocity over a given distance. This problem involves concepts of speed, velocity, and distance, relevant to Physics. However, the question contains an issue, since it asks how long it takes for Wile to reach the Roadrunner's velocity of 34 m/s while only moving at 1.5 m/s. Without acceleration, Wile cannot reach the Roadrunner's velocity; he will continue at his steady pace. Therefore, we can't determine a time for Wile to reach the Roadrunner's velocity of 34 m/s since he is not accelerating.

If the student meant to ask how long it takes for Wile to cover a distance of 0.75 km at his steady pace of 1.5 m/s, the calculation would be time = distance/speed. In this case:

time = 0.75 km / 1.5 m/s = 750 m / 1.5 m/s = 500 seconds.
