When he person is a disance d from he neares enry of he rain, he rain sars from res wih a consan acceleraion of 1 f/s 2 away from he person. If he person jus caches he rain (a) plo a graph of posiion vs ime for he rain and person on a common graph. x (f) x T x P (s) (b) how long will i ake he person o cach he rain? IF he person jus caches he rain, he rain mus have he same speed as he person a ha insan in ime. From he x-versus ime graph, he slope of he rain a he ime he wo mee is he same as he slope of he line governing he person s posiion versus ime. v person = v rain (1) v 0 = a (2) = v0 a (c) wha is he disance d?
