Question

Two runners start simultaneously from the same point on a circular 200-m track and run in the same direction. One runs at a constant speed of 6.20 m/s and the other runs at a constant speed of 5.50 m/s. Part A When will the faster one first overtake (lap) the slower one? Part B How far from the starting point will each have run at that instant?

Name: two runners start simultaneously from the same point on circular 200 m track and run in the same direction one runs at a constant speed of 620 m5 and the other runs at a constant speed of 55 19152
