Question

A rabbit is startled by a noise so he runs as fast as he can away from it directly towards his home; a hole under thorn bushes. The rabbit's maximum speed is 11.6 m/s. Unfortunately for the rabbit, this path lead him past a startled, but very hungry coyote. The coyote was initially not moving but immediately starts running at the rabbit once it passes her. It will take her 3.00 seconds to attain her maximum speed of 18.0 m/s. Assume the coyote speeds up with constant acceleration for the first three seconds and then runs at her constant maximum speed thereafter. The rabbit's home is 50.0 m beyond the coyote's initial location. Does the rabbit escape or does the coyote get a meal? Make sure you use numbers to calculate a value that gives a definitive answer to the question.
