Question 942534: In a 4 x 100 relay race (each leg 100 meters long), the first place runner has a 0.550 second lead and is running at a constant speed of 8.40 m/s. What minimum speed must the second runner have in order to catch up with the first runner by the end of their leg of the race?
I know that v=d/t and that the formulas will be equal to each other because they finish the leg of the race together. but I'm confused if I add the 0.55 second lead to the constant speed of the first runner or adjust the distance? I drew a picture and I can visually see the problem, just confused about how to deal with the .55 second lead. Thanks in advance for your help.
