6. After strapping on some rocket-powered roller skates, Wile E. Coyote takes off after the roadrunner near a cliff. He begins to accelerate from rest at awe = 15.0m/s just as the roadrunner, moving at a constant velocity, vr, passes him, travelling toward the cliff, 70.0 metres away. Just as he and the roadrunner reach the edge of the cliff, the roadrunner makes a sharp turn and escapes. Wile E. finds out that the roller skates aren't conducive to making turns of any kind, and so continues along in a straight direction, off the cliff. (a) Assuming Wile E. caught up to the roadrunner right at the edge of the cliff, how fast was the roadrunner's velocity, Vr? (b) Since the roller skates are rocket-powered, they continue to accelerate Wily horizontally as he falls down the 100.0-metre high cliff. Where does Wily land on the flat canyon floor at the base of the cliff?
