The cheetah can reach a top speed of 114 km/h (71 mi/h). While chasing its prey in a short sprint, a cheetah starts from rest and runs 49 m in a straight line, reaching a final speed of 93 km/h. Determine the cheetah's average acceleration during the short sprint. Find its displacement at t = 3.4 s. (Assume the cheetah maintains a constant acceleration throughout the sprint.)

A commuter train travels between two downtown stations. Because the stations are only 1.00 km apart, the train never reaches its maximum possible cruising speed. During rush hour the engineer minimizes the time interval t between two stations by accelerating at a rate a1 = 0.100 m/s2 for a time interval t1 and then immediately braking with acceleration a2 = 0.500 m/s2 for a time interval t2. Find the minimum time interval of travel t and the time interval t1.
