A cheetah is crouched 20 m to the east of an observer. At time t = 0 s, the cheetah begins to run due east
toward an antelope that is 50 m to the east of the observer. During the first 2.0 s of the attack, the cheetah's
coordinate x varies with time according to the equation x = 20 + 5t?.
(a) Find the cheetah's displacement between t1 = 1.0 s and t2 = 2.0 s.
(b) Find its average velocity during that interval.
(c) Derive an expression for the cheetah's instantaneous velocity as a function of time, and use it to
find Vy at t = 1.0 s and t = 2.0 s.
