The hare awakes to find that the slow tortoise (Vtortoise 0.13451 feet/second) is only d = 4.4882 inches away from the finish line! The tortoise is already at his maximum speed and will finish the race at constant velocity. The hare on the other hand starts from rest and using constant acceleration motion manages to end the race in a tie, despite the fact that he has to cover a distance of D= 40.50 meters!

Kind of stuck pls help

We all know the classic story of the tortoise (turtle) and the hare (rabbit). The slow tortoise and fast hare were in a race and the overconfident hare took a nap part way through and lost. This story is the origin of the saying "Slow and steady wins the race". Well not today DAMMIT! Finish Line Constant Velocity D Constant Acceleration The hare awakes to find that the slow tortoise (Vtortoise = 0.13451 feet/second) is only d = 4.4882 inches away from the finish line! The tortoise is already at his maximum speed and will finish the race at constant velocity. The hare on the other hand starts from rest and using constant acceleration motion manages to end the race in a tie, despite the fact that he has to cover a distance of D = 40.50 meters! Convert the tortoise distance into proper units. d = 0.11400028 ✔meters Convert the initial tortoise velocity into proper units. Vo(tortoise) = 0.040998648 Determine the time required for the tortoise to finish the race. t = Determine the acceleration of the hare. a = m/s2 meters/second seconds
