A cat is playing in the backyard of his owner's place. It can be seen moving back and forth, such that in the first go, it goes 0.2 m to its left, turns back and goes on for 0.4 m. It turns back again and goes on for 0.8 m and then turns back again and goes on Q. for 1.6 m and so on. If the cat takes 2 seconds to cover the distance between the successive turns, then what is the ratio of the average speed to the magnitude of its average velocity during the first 10 seconds? (Assume that the backyard is sufficiently large) 0 1 O 2.82 O 1.41 O 1.73

Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt are racing their stock cars to try to win the Daytona 500. Jeff makes a pit stop to gas up and change his tires. When he gets back on the track, he discovers that he is right next to Dale. Both are traveling at speeds of 150 mi/hr, but Dale is one full lap (2.5 miles) ahead." Jeff wants to catch Dale so he decides to try to accelerate slowly and uniformly (constant a) until he catches Dale-so that after Dale has done 10 laps, Jeff will have done 11. (Jeff knows from studying physics that uniform acceleration will use less gas.) Give your answers to three significant figures. For those not familiar with NASCAR racing, in this race the cars travel around a 2.5 mi oval track 200 times. During the long time that this race takes, cars have to make pit stops for service-gas, new tires, etc. (a) How much time does he have to do it, assuming that Dale keeps a constant speed during those laps? min (b) What distance will Jeff have to cover in that time? mi (c)…

A hare and a tortoise are having a race along a 2.0km track. The tortoise sets off at a constant speed of 1.6 m/s. The hare is confident that they can win, so first do 1000 meters at 5 m/s turns around and sees the hare and so stops and falls asleep for 10 mins. The hare wakes up and then sees the tortoise too close so speeds up again at 5m/s for another 500 meters after which the Hare again decides to sleep for 5 mins being so are in front. The Hare wakes up and sees the Tortoise! He dashes for the finish another 500 meters away at 8 m/s. To no avail as the story goes. By how much did the Tortoise win?
