We all know the classic story of the tortoise (turtle) and the hare (rabbit). The slow tortoise and fast hare were in a race and the overconfident hare took a nap part way through and lost. This story is the origin of the saying "Slow and steady wins the race". Well not today DAMMIT! Finish Line Constant Velocity d D Constant Acceleration The hare awakes to find that the slow tortoise (Vtortoise = 0.15092 feet/second) is only d = 6.4567 inches away from the finish line! The tortoise is already at his maximum speed and will finish the race at constant velocity. The hare on the other hand starts from rest and using constant acceleration motion manages to end the race in a tie, despite the fact that he has to cover a distance of D = 32.83 meters! Convert the tortoise distance into proper units. d = Convert the initial tortoise velocity into proper units. Vo(tortoise) = Determine the time required for the tortoise to finish the race. t = Determine the acceleration of the hare. a = m/s² meters meters/second seconds NOTE: The following may be helpful. • 1 foot = 12 inches 1 inch = 2.54 cm • The distance and velocity of the tortoise are small... be sure to use enough digits in your answer.
