Wyle E. Coyote sees his potential dinner, the Road Runner, running along a straight flat road at a constant velocity of 45.0 m/s. At the precise moment the Road Runner passes him, Wyle E.
ignites his rocket powered roller skates and begins his pursuit, starting from rest. The rocket
skates provide a constant acceleration of 11.0 m/s 2 and have enough fuel to burn for 5.00 s
after which Wyle E. will continue skating at a constant velocity (they are special ACME
frictionless rocket skates). Assume that Wyle. E. is able to draw even with the Road Runner (be
right next to him) after which he deploys his ACME bird net in which he becomes inextricably
tangled and the pursuit ends. Determine the following:
A. What is Wyle E. Coyote’s maximum velocity?
B. How much time does the pursuit take?
C. How far has Wyle E. travelled down the road from his starting position?
