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?

Cars A and B are racing each other along the same straight road in the following manner: Car A has a head start and is a distance DADAD_A beyond the starting line at t=0t=0. The starting line is at x=0x=0. Car A travels at a constant speed vAvAv_A. Car B starts at the starting line but has a better engine than Car A, and thus Car B travels at a constant speed vBvBv_B, which is greater than vAvAv_A. 1.) How long after Car B started the race will Car B catch up with Car A? Express the time in terms of given quantities.

A hare and a tortoise compete in a race over a course 1.00 km long. The tortoise craws straight and steadily at its maximum speed of 0.200 m/s toward the finish line. The hare runs at its maximum speed 8.00 m/s toward the goal for 0.800 km and then stops to tease the the tortoise. How close to the goal can the hare let the tortoise wins in a photo finish? Assume that, when moving, both animals move steadily at their respective maximum speeds. Pls include figures and fbd.
