This motion map represents the movement of two animals. Examine the motion map. One animal is an antelope that is already running. The other is a cheetah that starts running after the antelope passes it. Does A or B represent the motion of the cheetah? Assume the first dot for animal A represents t= 0. At which time does animal B overtake animal A? A seconds

An accomplished physical therapist stays in shape for her job by running on a track. She passes one marker running at 1.0 m/s, and continues to accelerate at 0.5 m/s2 for another 3.1 seconds. How far from the first marker did she run in that time?
A motorcycle begins at rest at t0 = 0 seconds. The motorcycle starts moving, and eventually covers a distance d = 712 m, in a time tf = 163 s. In a coordinate system with north being the positive x-direction, the motorcycle's motion is in the northern direction (see figure). If the motorcycle's final velocity at tf was 12 m/s, what was the motorcycle's average acceleration in the northern direction, aavg,N, during this period in m/s2?
