Solved: The determined Wile E. Coyote is out once more to

Chapter 3, Problem 3.108

(choose chapter or problem)

The determined Wile E. Coyote is out once more to try to capture the elusive roadrunner. The coyote wears a new pair of Acme power roller skates, which provide a constant horizontal acceleration of 15 m/s2, as shown in Figure P3.73. The coyote starts off at rest 70 m from the edge of a cliff at the instant the roadrunner zips by in the direction of the cliff. (a) If the roadrunner moves with constant speed, fi nd the minimum speed the roadrunner must have to reach the cliff before the coyote. (b) If the cliff is 100 m above the base of a canyon, fi nd where the coyote lands in the canyon. (Assume his skates are still in operation when he is in fl ight and that his horizontal component of acceleration remains constant at 15 m/s2.)
