Mike is at rest. Glen is driving towards him at a speed of 15 m/s. Mike starts accelerating at a constant acceleration of 3 m/s^2, 1 second after Glen passes him. What is Mike's displacement when he passes Glen? What is Mike's velocity at the instant he passes Glen? Draw a position vs time graph and a velocity vs. time graph for both vehicles. How does Mike's average velocity during the pursuit compare to Glen's constant velocity?

A cheetah uses a non-constant acceleration to go from 10 m/s to 25 m/s after 5 seconds. Choose all the following statements that are correct. Than The average acceleration is 3 m/s2. We have enough information to find the distance traveled during this 5 seconds. You can't determine the average acceleration because acceleration is not constant. We have enough information to find the average velocity.
