You are standing 100 meters away from your car when an alligator appears 20meters away from you on the opposite side and you start to run with a speed of 5m/s while the alligator's speed was 8m/s towards you. will you reach your car before the alligator reaches you? why?

Pretty sure you'd be a dead man. Let's break this up shall we?

So if you're running @ 5 m/s at a distance of 100m, then it'll take you 20 seconds to get to the car. This is because distance/velocity=time. ••••• Now the Alligator is another story. He has to run 20m+100m and he runs @ 8 m/s. Using the same equation again, d/v= time, you will find that it takes the alligator 15 seconds to get to your car. So if it takes 20 secs for you to get to safety, and 15 secs for the alligator to maul you, if say you would die.

Well the magnitude of its acceleration related to that car starts with the oil change like when you have to change the oil in your car you have to make sure that your precious car is starting really propley and very well
