Pretty sure the answer to #1 is 73 meters. Does it exempt me if I carry a 10mm every time I'm in the woods?

I was gonna say D- I pull out a belt-fed, air cooled, full automatic crew served machine gun and dine like a king on raptor meat tonight... but I like your answer better. [LOL]
I do believe this is the correct firearm for dinosaurs...

First one you are going to be eaten after 4 seconds.
Raptor will have run 64m, you will have run 24m. The raptor will be going 16m/s at that time, hopefully fast enough to knock you out before she eats you.
Initial distance of 40m
add 6m/s to distance for the panicked human
reduce distance by 4m/s^2 for the hungry raprot (until 6.25sec, then cap at 25m/s)
0=40+6t-4t^2, solve for t. Multiply by 6 to get human distance, add 40 to human distance to get raptor distance
(nice nerd snipe)
Second one, the wounded raptor doesn't matter. They are too close to reach that 10m/s top speed and there is nothing about slower acceleration. Aim for the middle of any edge or just cower, you are not getting far.
Correct answer to the question doesn't matter. Without a firearm you're F'd.

you're not going to be thinking about speed at a time like that. Plus it didn't factor in the adrenaline rush you would get where you would run probably 10m/s
also don't want to negate that fact that when you projectile shit your pants at top speed I think you would get at least 1-2m/s boost from that.
it's a poorly written problem.

There's no proof that velociraptors and humans existed at the same time. The fundamental questions are flawed.

It's not a T-Rex. It's a raptor.

Dinosaur erotica aside, this is a valid question. To make the gigantic leap to believing that these creatures would automatically want to eat you is RACIST. Damned tea-partiers! /sarcasm
I was told there'd be no math...

Well if you use the new, common core math (remember that thread? 3x4=11...) then the answer to #1 is "not very far", and the answer to #2 is "away from the raptor"!!
I wanted to write something funny, but for the respect to high school teachers who wants kids to get into Phys or engineering field, I would rather not be funny. [Sarcasm2]
The answer to all is "Nuke from high orbit."

Assume you find yourself on Isla Nublar as portrayed in the Jurassic Park series.

True. I am a brown skinned person and that doesn't bode well for me. Hopefully I at least heroically sacrifice myself to get the generator running or something.

1. ~49.5m. Will check my math later. Exercised some brain cells that haven't been used for awhile.
However, we all know that in Hollywood pursuing monsters/whatever asymptotically catch up with the hero. Witness the woolly ice creature in the Star Trek reboot chasing Kirk. Seconds to catch up, then on his heels until it gets munched by the "spider".

Unless you're the lawyer.
On further study the second one is a trick question. You live longest standing still if you assume the raptors are smart enough to lead their prey. (and they are)
What if the second one you stand still then drop to the ground as the first two hit each other then the third runs into them, then you get up and run? How long can you live then?
Just piss and puke on them and you will survive.

Velociraptors were only about the size of a large chicken, so when it got close I would just kick it until it decided I wasn't worth it.
