A hare and a tortoise compete in a race over a course 1.00 km long. The tortoise craws straight and steadily at its maximum speed of 0.200 m/s toward the finish line. The hare runs at its maximum speed 8.00 m/s toward the goal for 0.800 km and then stops to tease the the tortoise. How close to the goal can the hare let the tortoise wins in a photo finish? Assume that, when moving, both animals move steadily at their respective maximum speeds.
Pls include figures and fbd.

The horse travels at a speed of 19.0 m/s and the squirrel can do 3.30 m/s. The horse runs for 1.520 km and then stops to tease the slow-moving squirrel, which eventually passes by. The horse waits for a while after the squirrel passes and then runs toward the finish line. Both animals cross the finish line at the exact same instant. Assume both animals, when moving, move steadily at their respective speeds. (a) How far (in m) is the squirrel from the finish line when the horse resumes the race? Enter a number. r animal resumes the race, they both travel for the same amount of time to the end of the race. How far does the faster animal travel during this time?
