Homework Statement
A hare and tortoise compete in a race over a course of 3.70km long. The tortoise crawls straight and steadily at its max speed of .900m/s toward the finish line. The hare runs at its max speed of 1.00m/s toward the goal for .800 km and then stops to taunt the tortoise. Assume that, when moving, both animals move steadily at their respective max speed.
Homework Equations
How close to the goal can the hare let the tortoise approach before resuming the race, which tortoise wins in a photo finish?
The Attempt at a Solution
I drew the picture but couldn't get anywhere. I thought that i would have to use a kinematic equation but not all the givens are given...
