Mimi can run around a quarter-mile track in 150 seconds. Judy can run around the same track in 120 seconds. Suppose they start running in the same direction from the same place at the same time. How long will it take for Judy to “lap” (catch up to) Mimi three times? How far will each woman have run? Hint: Find each woman’s speed (distance/time).

Please show work and explain how you got this answer :)

Apparently a shark can smell blood up to a quarter of a mile away. How does smell travel in water? It would seem strange that if you drop ink in water it takes ages to dissipate so how can the individual particles of a smell travel so far and apparently so fast?

A cheetah can run at 105 ft/s, but only for 7 seconds. The cheetah is at (0,0) when it sees an antelope which is moving accoording to the parametric equation (x,y)= (-39+40t , 228+30t), where t is in seconds and (x,y) are measured in feet. If the cheetah started to run at t=0 it could catch the antelope. How many seconds can the cheetah afford to wait before starting? Assume that the cheetah does not change direction when it runs.

How fast can male college students run a mile? There’s lots of variation, of course. During World War II, physical training was required for male students in many colleges, as preparation for military service. That provided an opportunity to collect data on physical performance on a large scale. A study of 12,000 able-bodied male students at the University of Illinois found that their times for the mile run were approximately Normal with mean 7.01 minutes and standard deviation 0.7 minute....

A roller-coaster track is being designed so that the roller-coaster car can safely make it around the circular vertical loop of radius R = 24.5 m on the frictionless track. The loop is immediately after the highest point in the track, which is a height h above the bottom of the loop. What is the minimum value of h for which the roller-coaster car will barely make it around the vertical loop?

Usain Bolt, a world champion sprinter, can run a 10-meter split in 0.82 seconds. Say you obtain a quadriceps muscle sample from Usain Bolt and compare it to one from a 25-year-old male long-distance runner. What differences do you expect to observe between those two muscle samples? Select all that apply. A) red and white muscle fibers of larger cross-sectional area in Usain Bolt's leg muscles B) more mitochondria in Usain Bolt's leg muscles C) more fast-twitch fibers in Usain...
