Tortoise and the Hare

A tortoise is moving at 10 m/s. The tortoise passes a resting hare. When the hare sees the tortoise, the hare wants to catch up and starts to move with an acceleration of 4 m/s^2. The hare has a reaction time of 2 s between noticing the tortoise and running after him.

1. How many meters does the hare run to surpass the tortoise?

2. How long does it take the hare to surpass the turtle once the hare has started running?

A tortoise and hare start from rest and have a race. As the race begins, both accelerate forward. The hare accelerates uniformly at a rate of 1.5 m/s2 for 4.2 seconds. It then continues at a constant speed for 12.4 seconds, before getting tired and slowing down with constant acceleration coming to rest 108 meters from where it started. The tortoise accelerates uniformly for the entire distance, finally catching the hare just as the hare comes to a stop. 1)...

A hare and a tortoise compete in a race over a straight course 2.30 km long. The tortoise crawls at a speed of 0.290 m/s toward the finish line. The hare runs at a speed of 8.50 m/s toward the finish line for 1.840 km and then stops to tease the slow-moving tortoise as the tortoise eventually passes by. The hare waits for a while after the tortoise passes and then runs toward the finish line again at 8.50 m/s....
