The hare and the tortoise are at the starting line together. When the gun goes off, the hare
moves off at a constant speed of 10 meters per
second. (Ignore the acceleration required to
get the animal to this speed.) The tortoise
starts from a dead stop, but accelerates at a
rate of 2 meters per second per second. Make
a table showing the positions of the two racers
after 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, and so
forth.
How long will it be before the tortoise
passes the hare?
Answer in units of seconds.
