Abstract:
The dog-and-rabbit chase problem is a classic problem that emphasizes the use of concepts of elementary kinematics and, therefore, can be used in introductory mechanics teaching. Relative motion, change of coordinates, and the elementary theory of differential equations are used to provide a more general approach to this problem. The effectiveness of the adopted approach is proved by applying it to another related problem.
