In a race, they both start at the same time,but the hare stops to rest for 2.0 minutes. The tortoise wins by ashell (20 cm). What was the length of the race?
Explanation / Answer
A speedy tortoisecan run with a velocity of 10 cm/s and a hare can run 20 times asfast. In a race, they both start at the same time, but the harestops to rest for 2.0 minutes. The tortoise wins by a shell (20cm). What was the length of the race? {Time Of Race} = {TimeFor Turtle To Win} = T {Length Of Race} = L = = {Distance Turtle Ran} = {Turtle Speed}*T = (10)*T {Distance Hare Ran In Time T} = D = = {Hare Speed}*(T - (120 sec)) = {(20)*(10)}*(T - 120) = (200)*(T -120) {GIVEN} ----> L -D = 20 ----> (10)*T -(200)*(T -120) = 20 ----> T = 126.21 sec ----> {Length Of Race} = L = (10)*T ----> {Length Of Race} = (10cm/sec)*(126.21 sec) ----> {Length OfRace} = 1262 cm ----> {Length OfRace} = 12.62 m .
