Three points are located at the vertices of an equilateral triangle whose side equals . They all start moving simultaneously with velocity constant in modulus, with the first point heading continually for the second, the second for the third, and the third for the first. How soon will the points converge?

From point located on a highway (as shown) one has to get by car as soon as possible to point located in the field at a distance from the highway. It is known that the car moves in the field times slower than on the highway. At what distance from point one must turn off the highway?

A point travels along the -axis with a velocity whose projection is presented as a function of time by the plot.
Assuming the coordinate of the point at the moment , draw the approximate time dependence plots for the acceleration , the coordinate and the distance covered .

the mean velocity
the modulus of the mean velocity vector
the modulus of the mean vector of the total acceleration if the point moved with constant tangent acceleration.

the velocity and the acceleration of the particle as functions of time,
the time interval taken by the particle to return to the initial points, and the distance covered during that time.
