Assuming the y-axis represents distance from the finish line, and they both move at a constant velocity IOW v(t)=m(t)+b, the animal with the higher negative m-value will win every time.

If the hare's velocity changes at times, then his average velocity would determine his finish time. If the hare's (v(t+h)-v(t))/h results in a higher negative slope than the turtle's, the hare would still win. .

How long would it take a tortoise to walk from Newquay to Sheffield?

Well - lets put it into context. That's a distance of about 335 miles. A human would take about 116 hours to walk it IF they walked at a constant speed of three miles per hour non-stop.. A tortoise would likely take at least four or five times longer !


A bunny runs along a straight path with speed of 25 ms. he passes a tortoise which immediately chases the bunny with acceleration of .003 ms2. How long does it take the tortoise to catch the bunny?

To catch up with the bunny, the tortoise needs to cover the initial distance between them. The time it takes can be calculated using the equation: distance = initial separation + (tortoise speed * time) + 0.5 * acceleration * time^2. With the given values, you can find the time it takes for the tortoise to catch the bunny.
