Hi there!
Using the equation of speed for the whole trip, we can obtain the time each one needed to cover the distance D.
The speed (v) is calculated by dividing the traveled distance (d) over the time needed to cover that distance (t):
v = d/t
Rick traveled half of the distance at Vr and the other half at Vw. Then, when v = Vr, the distance traveled was D/2 and the time is unknown, Δt1:
Vr = D/ (2 · Δt1)
For the other half of the trip the expression of velocity will be:
Vw = D/(2 · Δt2)
The total time traveled is the sum of both Δt:
Δt(total) = Δt1 + Δt2
Then, solving the first equation for Δt1:
Vr = D/ (2 · Δt1)
Δt1 = D/(2 · Vr)
In the same way for the second equation:
Δt2 = D/(2 · Vw)
Δt + Δt2 = D/(2 · Vr) + D/(2 · Vw)
Δt(total) = D/2 · (1/Vr + 1/Vw)
The time needed by Rick to complete the trip was:
Δt(total) = D/2 · (1/Vr + 1/Vw)
Now let´s calculate the time it took Tim to do the trip:
Tim walks half of the time, then his speed could be expressed as follows:
Vw = 2d1/Δt Where d1 is the traveled distance.
Solving for d1:
Vw · Δt/2 = d1
He then ran half of the time:
Vr = 2d2/Δt
Solving for d2:
Vr · Δt/2 = d2
Since d1 + d2 = D, then:
Vw · Δt/2 + Vr · Δt/2 = D
Solving for Δt:
Δt (Vw/2 + Vr/2) = D
Δt = D / (Vw/2 + Vr/2)
Δt = D/ ((Vw + Vr)/2)
Δt = 2D / (Vw + Vr)
The time needed by Tim to complete the trip was:
Δt = 2D / (Vw + Vr)
Let´s find the diference between the time done by Tim and the one done by Rick:
Δt(tim) - Δt(rick)
2D / (Vw + Vr) - (D/2 · (1/Vr + 1/Vw))
= Δt
Let´s check the result. If Vr = Vw:
Δt = 2D/2Vr - D/2Vr - D/2Vr
Δt = D/Vr - D/Vr = 0
This makes sense because if both move with the same velocity all the time both will do the trip in the same time.

Hi!
The perpendicular distance 2.4cm, is much less than the distance to both endpoints of the wire, which is aprox 1m. Then the edge effect is negligible at this field point, and we can aproximate the wire as infinitely long.
The electric filed of an infinitely long wire is easy to calculate. Let's call z the axis along the wire. Because of its simmetry (translational and rotational), the electric field E must point in the radial direction, and it cannot depende on coordinate z. To calculate the field Gauss law is used, as seen in the image, with a cylindrical gaussian surface. The result is:
Then the electric field at the point of interest is estimated as:
