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.

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)...

Zeno’s famous paradox, as recounted by Aristotle, says that “In a race, the quickest runner can never overtake the slowest, since the pursuer must first reach the point where the pursued started, so that the slower must always hold a lead.” Although the paradox is philosophically interesting, we now know how to solve this problem – and as expected Achilles will eventually catch up to the tortoise. However, the slower of Zeno’s two protagonists can still win a race if...
