The tortoise and the hare are having a race over a total length L. The with constant speed vo the entire race. When the tortoise is halfway done with the race, the hare begins from the starting line, and runs with constant acceleration the entire race. The race ends in a tie. (a) How long does it take the tortoise to complete the race? At what time (after the tortoise starts) does the hare start the race? (b) Draw a x(t) graph showing both the hare's position and the tortoise's position throughout the race. (c) What was the acceleration of the hare? (d) What was the maximum distance between the hare and the tortoise throughout the race?
