Answer:
Chief Hopper
Explanation:
Mike travels at a constant speed of 3.1 m/s. To find how long it takes him to reach the school, we need to find the distance he travels. We can do this using Pythagorean theorem.
a² + b² = c²
(1000 m)² + (900 m)² = c²
c ≈ 1345 m
So the time is:
v = d / t
3.1 m/s = 1345 m / t
t ≈ 434 s
Next, Chief Hopper travels a total distance of 1900 m, starting at rest and accelerating at 0.028 m/s². So we can use constant acceleration equation to find the time.
d = v₀ t + ½ at²
1900 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (0.028 m/s²) t²
t ≈ 368 s
So Chief Hopper reaches the school first, approximately 66 seconds before Mike does.
