A turtle and a rabbit engage in a footrace over a distance of 4.00 km. The rabbit runs 0.500 km and then stops for a 90.0-min nap. Upon awakening, he remembers the race and runs twice as fast. Finishing the course in a total time of 1.75 h, the rabbit wins the race.
(a) Calculate the average speed of the rabbit.
(b) What was his average speed before he stopped for a nap? Assume no detours or doubling back. step by step
To qualify for the finals in a racing event, a race car must achieve an average speed of 250 km/h on a track with a total length of 1 600 m. If a particular car covers the first half of the track at an average speed of 230 km/h, what minimum average speed must it have in the second half of the event in order to qualify?
