Find the magnitude of the velocity of the second runner

Reference no: EM13699578

Compute each part of following problem given below:

Problem: Near the end of a marathon race, the first two runners are separated by a distance of 65.0 m. The front runner has a velocity of 3.25 m/s, and the second a velocity of 4.75 m/s.

Part A: What is the magnitude of the velocity of the second runner relative to the first?

Part B: If the front runner is 215 m from the finish line, who will win the race, assuming they run at constant velocity?

Part C: By what distance does the winning runner finish ahead of the next runner?

If possible just a brief explanation how you got the answer for above problem?
