IT-CESENATICO 2013 Problem 1
A model car is tested on some closed circuit meters long, consisting of flat stretches, uphill and downhill. All uphill and downhill have the same slope. The test highlights the following facts:
[list] (a) The velocity of the car depends only on the fact that the car is driving along a stretch of uphill, plane or downhill; calling these three velocities and respectively, we have ;
(b) and , expressed in meter per second, are integers.
(c) Whatever may be the structure of the circuit, the time taken to complete the circuit is always seconds. [/list]
