George and Paula are running around a circular track. George starts at the westernmost point of the track, and Paula starts at the easternmost point. The illustration below shows their starting positions and running directions. They start running toward each other at constant speeds. George runs at 8 feet per second. Paula takes 50 seconds to run a lap of the track. George and Paula pass each other after 11 seconds. After running for 3 minutes, how far east of his starting point is George?

Charlie and Alexandra are running around a circular track with radius 60 meters. Charlie started at the westernmost point of the track, and, at the same time, Alexandra started at the northernmost point. They both run counterclockwise. Alexandra runs at 4 meters per second, and will take exactly 3 minutes to catch up to Charlie. Impose a coordinate system with units in meters where the origin is at the center of the circular track, and give the x- and y-coordinates...

Alice is driving a race car around an essentially circular track. Brian, who is sitting at a fixed position at the edge of the track, measures the time that Alice takes to complete a lap by starting his watch when Alice passes by his position (call this event E) and stopping it when Alice passes his positin again (call this event F). This situation is also observed by Cara and Dave, who are passengers in a train that passes very close to...
