10) Two people, Rich and Carol, are 600 meters apart. Rich runs directly towards Carol at 8.0 m/s while Carol
runs directly towards Rich at 4.0 m/s. How much time elapses before they meet? How far has Rich
traveled? How far has Carol traveled?
11) Referring back to the previous question - how much time would elapse if Carol was running at 4.0 m/s
directly away from Rich (instead of running towards him)? How far has Rich traveled by the time he catches
up to her? How far has Carol traveled at that point?
