A tortoise and a hare are running in a race on a straight track. The hare is really fast, but kind of a jerk, so he takes a nap a few steps before the finish line. The tortoise passes him while he's asleep and wins. Describe the displacement and velocity of each animal throughout the race. You can use words, graphs, or estimated values for your descriptions. Remember that all vectors must include a direction! Additional Questions - Which animal had a greater average velocity? Why? - Which animal had a greater instantaneous velocity (at any point)? Why? - How would your descriptions for each of these be different for a circular track? Criteria Upload a file (document, pdf, or image) showing your vector assembly and answers to the questions. You will be graded for completing the activity, not for correctness of your answers.
