A hungry lioness runs after a gazelle. [tex]v_{L}>v_{G}[/tex] are the constant magnitudes of the velocities of the two animals. The lioness always directs it's velocity towards the gazelle, the latter always runs in a straight line. Calculate when will the lioness eat the gazelle, as a function of the initial positions of the two animals in the savannah (the horizontal xy plane) and of the direction of the gazelle's speed.
