Suppose a man starts walking straight at a speed 1.5m/s in a city park and his dog immediately chases him at a speed 3.0m/s always aiming directly at him. Determine and plot the trajectories of the man and his dog for a time t= 10s at the following two cases i. the dog is at a distance 20 m behind the man at t=0. ii. the dog is at a distance 20 m to his left at t=0.
