You are lying on a beach, your eyes 20 cm above the

sand. just as the sun sets, fully disappearing over the horizon,

you immediately jump up, your eyes now 150 cm above the

sand, and you can again just see the top of the sun. if you count

the number of seconds (=t) until the sun fully disappears

again, you can estimate the earth’s radius. but for this problem, use the known radius of the earth to calculate the time

Arunner is jogging at a steady 3.6 km/hr. when the runner is 2.9 km from the finish line, a bird begins flying from the runner to the finish line at 14.4 km/hr (4 times as fast as the runner). when the bird reaches the finish line, it turns around and flies back to the runner. even though the bird is a dodo, we will assume that it occupies only one point in space, i.e., a zero-length bird. how far does the bird travel? (b) after this first encounter, the bird then turns around and flies from the runner back to the finish line, turns around again and flies back to the runner. the bird repeats the back and forth trips until the runner reaches the finish line. how far does the bird travel from the beginning? (i.e. include the distance traveled to the first encounter)
