A cougar is running toward a deer that is 50 m away from it. The deer is also running at a constant rate of 6.4 m/s. If the cougar is running at a rate of 9.2 m/s he will catch up with the deer in 18 s (true/ false)

Given:

Cougar speed = 9.2 m/s
Deer speed = 6.4 m/s
Initial distance = 50m

Required:

When will the cougar catch up to the deer?

Solution:

To solve the problem, we can use the formula:

speed = distance/time

rearranging the equation,

time = distance/speed

substituting values,

time = 50m/(9.2 m/s - 6.4m/s)
time = 17.9 sec

Time is approximately 18 seconds. Thus, it is true that the cougar will catch up to the deer in 18 seconds.
