Jack the Jaguar can run for only 1.0 min at 13.0m/s before he has to stop to rest, while Zeke the zebra can gallop at 7.25m/s for 5.0 min. How long does Zeke actually have to run for to elude Jack? Can Jack catch Zeke for lunch if they are initially 350m apart?

1 answer

The first question makes little sense, but the second can be answered by solving

13s = 7.25s+350
s = 60.87

Since Jack has to stop after only 60 seconds, he'll watch Zeke's heels as he escapes. One more second and he'd have had zebra for lunch.
