The tortoise and the hare are having a race over a course of length 0.52 km. The tortoise crawls along at a constant 0.075 m/s w

hile the hare sprints along at a constant 16.7 m/s (when he is not sleeping). The race starts and the hare runs halfway to the finish line and decides to take a nap while the tortoise plods along. Waking from his nap, the hare sees that the tortoise has made so much progress that he might lose the race. He takes off and just catches up to the toroise at the finish line so that the race ends in a tie. Be careful with units.
How many hours did the hare sleep before waking up?

Answer:the hare slept for 1 hr 55minutes.

Explanation: distance is changed to meters = 520m

Speed=distance/time

Speed of tortoise is 0.075m/s=520m/t

Crops multiplying t= 520/0.075 = 6933.3 seconds.

Speed for hare 16.7m/s =260m/t

ie 260m is half of the distance.

t =15.56seconds

Therefore the time slept by the hare = 6933.3- 15.56= 6917.74 seconds.

Converting to hours = 1hr. 55minutes is the time the hare slept.

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The correct answer is Option A (decrease).

Explanation:

  • According to Heisenberg's presumption of unpredictability, it's impossible to ascertain a quantum state viewpoint as well as momentum throughout tandem.
  • Also, unless we have accurate estimations throughout the situation, we will have a decreased consistency throughout the velocity as well as vice versa though too.

Other given choices are not connected to the given query. Thus the above is the right answer.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

I think they cross the line when they force sports into their child's life, and take away their choice of what they want to do so they essentially waste their childhood preparing for something that may never happen or they just don't get the opportunity to explore their artistic abilities.
