Question 6

Flash the ant sees a tasty corn flake $$0.45\ \mathrm{m}$$ away. She puts on the Flash suit and zooms toward the corn flake at her fastest speed. Grabbing the flake in zero time, she is a bit slower getting back because corn flakes are heavy. She travels back at only $$1/3 of $$the speed she made going out to the flake. The total time for the trip was $$3.60\ \mathrm{s}. $$What is her fastest speed?

Accepted Answer

$$0.375\ \mathrm{m/s}$$

Question 7

Jane and John have new rocket bikes and want to race. Jane's bike accelerates at $$14.1\ \mathrm{m/s^2$}$$ but John's has a fuel filter issue and only accelerates at $$13.9\ \mathrm{m/s^2$}. $$They decide to give John a $$1.45\ \mathrm{m/s}$$ head start. How far from the starting line will they be when Jane flashes past John? How much faster than John will Jane be going when she passes him?
