A tortoise and hare start from rest and have a race. As the race begins, both accelerate forward. The hare accelerates uniformly at a rate of 1.4 m/s2 for 4 seconds. It then continues at a constant speed for 11.4 seconds, before getting tired and slowing down with constant acceleration coming to rest 84 meters from where it started. The tortoise accelerates uniformly for the entire distance, finally catching the hare just as the hare comes to a stop.

4) What is the acceleration of the hare once it begins to slow down? See solution ________________m/s^2

5) What is the total time the hare is moving? See solution ________________s

6) What is the acceleration of the tortoise? See solution _________________m/s^2

PLEASE help with these last three questions, i really need it and the work to be shown as well. Will award points for more work shown explaining the last three questions
