Problem #1: (35 points) At any distance s from the starting line of a road race (along a straight
road), the speed v=v(s) of a runner (shown in Figure 1!) is given as a function of the distance s
traveled by the runner according to the relation:
v(s)=vo(1-bs)1-N
where the initial speed vo as well as parameters b and N are all known constants (and ts=0v=v0t(s)ss(t)tv0,bNv(t)tv0,bNa(s)sv0,bNa(t)tv0,bNvo=8mph,b=0.05mi-1N=0.4ts=60
