Представлено простое решение классической задачи преследования волка за зайцем. Данное решение показывает удобство использования методов элементарной кинематики, в том числе во вводном курсе механики.
The purpose of this article is to present a simple solution of the classic dog-and-rabbit chase problem which emphasizes the use of concepts of elementary kinematics and, therefore, can be used in introductory mechanics course. The article is based on the teaching experience of introductory mechanics course at Novosibirsk State University for first year physics students which are just beginning to use advanced mathematical methods in physics problems.
