We were kicking this around at work today, ...er, when we weren't working.

Anyone want to take a stab at an answer for problem 2?

Note: Problem 1 includes acceleration information.

Cheers, Pal

I got number 1, but I had to revisit the Dog-Rabbit problem to remember how to set up and solve the differential equation for the path. Now I only need replace Dog with VR and rabbit with human (and make the axis at a variable angle.) I'll see what happens.
