Question 1189608
.
A lion is trying to catch an antelope. The antelope runs for 12.0s at a constant velocity of 36.0m/s. 
Starting from rest, what constant acceleration must the lion maintain in order to run the same distance 
as its prey runs at the same time?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
    12*36 = {{{(a*12^2)/2}}}

    {{{(12*36)/12^2}}} = {{{a/2}}}

         3   = {{{a/2}}}

         6   = a


<U>ANSWER</U>. Constant acceleration should be a = 6 m/s^2.

Solved.
