Continuance of the INfinity Proposal
gymsum:
Umm I did it much easier. Remember d=vt. well I just remembered that accelerating from 0 to anything at any rate will give you a sumation of distances for the inital few seconds, and then once it hits top speed its simple addition. So I did 20/4 and came up with about 5 seconds, and that put the raptor 60 meters up, and the human coudl only cover 6*5 meters, or 30, so it would be 70 meters out or 10 meters from the raptor by then, simple subtraction got me the extra second and some it would take to catch up. As for the second question, I was never to good with vectors, especially ones like that that leave a large room for an answer of interpretation. If you run to the two faster raptors, you're dead sooner. So I just went with immediate easiest described, otherwise I have a range of 90-180 degrees of choices to choose from and I never took calculous.
So redemption: its 20 meters away I assume and still accelerates at 4m/s2, so in 2.5 seconds it will reach top speed, and in that time will have convered only 22 meteres, and the human runs 6m/s, so we can do 10-6 4m/s is the difference.. I would say about 6 seconds as its half the distance and halfe the speed, and t=d/v and 40/20=20/10.
And the distance would be 6*6 about 36 meters away. I think thats correct.

You're missing out. Calculus makes all of that hard Algebra II math suddenly make sense. Calculus is like the string theory of math (only, you know, provable)

You assume wrong. The problem says 40 meters away. But I can pretend that it said 20 meters away and give you some partial credit...

I get 48.75, assuming an initial distance of 20 meters. I checked it twice. That gives you a relative error of 26%. Not low enough for partial credit. Sorry. Did you forget to add the distance the human covers while the raptor is accelerating (you'd still be wrong, but you might be less wrong. You should be able to arrive at an exact answer, using nothing but fractions if that's what you prefer).
Peter:
Gymsum are you doing this on purpose?
Here you will get a (simple)calculation lesson.
I've tried to do it like you described. But then with right anwsers.
distance between gymsum and raptor
20 meters
acceleration raptor: 4m/s2
topspeed raptor:10ms
speed gymsum 6m/s.
Here you go with your 2,5 sec acceleration.
2,5 * 10 / 2= 12,5m
Here you see the human is faster
2,5 * 6 = 15m
Wow 2,5 meters more distance.
15-12,5 = 2,5m
Now it is 22,5meter.
20+2,5=22,5m
Speed difference is 4m/s, how much seconds.
22,5/4 = 5,615s
And here we see the distance the human has walked before it was eaten.
(5,615+2,5) *6=
8,125*6 = 48,75
And just as you, it is all calculated with that gray stuff, up there in my head that the whole time screams, just use a calculator .
As for the second question, you may anwser it simple. You may also try it with that the raptors changes every second it angle or something.
Imagine that the raptor exactly knows what you're going to do, as some kind of mindreader. Inmidiatly he takes the right angle to get you and he goes in a straight line. This means that the angle where you survive the longest, is the point where both raptors get you at desame time. Remember they go in a straigt line inmidiatly to the point where they are going the eat you.
Use a calculator, and think well. Just act like this is a test. Maybe then we'll think you're smart
gymsum:
No thanks.
Trying to evade raptors seems extremely irrelevant to the topic. Also I have thought more about the time lapse purpose of the equation. If you recall the 4d sphere. Well imagine that all knowledge is contained within the dimension its percieved through, that means that things like location and distances are 3d. But as each progression of events unfolds, the amount of amplification in entropy remains to be the same if you consider that entropy might be conserved, as a relative way to allow for the Universe to experience varrying levels of Entropy, not saying it has a limit, but that entropy is relative to everything in the universe. So as each event happens, the amount of information is 4d in nature, since entropy follows an inverse squares law should you graph it as a wave, as time continues the amount of entropy from something (previous) remains constant. That is to say the butterfly flapping its wings once to start a hurricane, could die moments later but the entropy of the wing has already continued in the hurricane. So all knowledge of the future can be found by taking the Universal time stamp of the future, subtracting the opresent time stamp from it, and then raising it to the power of Time. This means that no matter what action is taken, the entropy of that action continues indefinitely (cause and effects can be described in this way, as the past cannot be changed). Now if you're wanting to discuss theoretical physics, I'm all yours, but I simply have no time to imagine a raptor, its liek trying to imagine a moose that stands 20 feet from hoof to ear. Its not really practical because it doesnt occur in nature anymore, however the entroyp it created continues to this day, in the form of oil and global warming.
Regardless of what some DB discussion bot makers think of my ideas, this discussion was meant for understanding knowledge on a universal scale.

Inrelevant, raptors are inrelevant! Wait till a raptor finds you, I wonder what you will say then. Raptors inrelevant?

So knowledge is a dimension, amazing. At this moment I will ask for sources. Oh, and this coused me to stop reading. Where are you at the moment, are there people with white coates, may you go outside.

So what do you want to know?
