A hare and a tortoise compete in a race over a straight


Solve the all parts of given question:

Question: A hare and a tortoise compete in a race over a straight course 1.05 km long. The tortoise crawls at a speed of 0.290 m/s toward the finish line. The hare runs at a speed of 7.95 m/s toward the finish line for 0.840 km and then stops to tease the slow-moving tortoise as the tortoise eventually passes by. The hare waits for a while after the tortoise passes and then runs toward the finish line again at 7.95 m/s. Both the hare and the tortoise cross the finish line at the exact same instant. Assume both animals, when moving, move steadily at their respective speeds.

Part I: How far is the tortoise from the finish line when the hare resumes the race?

Part II: For how long in time was the hare stationary?

I need help to determine for how long in time was the hare stationary.
