Problem 6 Cyclist
A cyclist in a race has a speed v2 and is a distance d behind another cyclist traveling at speed v1. (a)
Assuming v2 > v1, sketch a position plot with both cyclists on it. (b) What is the minimum distance that
must be left in the race (for the cyclist in the front) to be caught? (c) Looking at your answer/expression
from the previous part, what happens when v1 = v2? Does this make sense?
