You’re in Jurassic Park and are faced on either side by two velociraptors. You decide to run perpendicular to the line that connects the two velociraptors where you are at the midpoint. If the velociraptors are 30 meters apart and can run at 17 ????/????, how long will you live if you can only run at 8 ????/?????

You are in the same situation as the above problem, however being clever girls, you do not notice a third velociraptor has appeared 50 meters directly in front of you as you run. Will you live the same amount of time or has your time left increased or decreased? If it has changed, what is the new time you have left?

Solution:-
In the first case , where you are running perpendicular to the line that connects the two velociraptors, your distance to each velociraptor is 15 meters. Since the velociraptors can run at 17 m/s and you can run at 8 m/s, the velociraptors will close the distance to you at a rate of 17 m/s - 8 m/s = 9 m/s.
