In a 3-lap auto race, the displacements and each time of the laps were recorded: • 1st lap: Ran from 0m to 34.5m in a time of 0s to 4.5s. • 2nd lap: Ran from 34.5m to 78.3m in a time of 4.5s to 9.2s. • 3rd lap: Ran from 78.3 m to 152.4 m in a time of 9.2 sec to 12.9 sec. Determine the speed of each lap and describe the “general” type of movement of the competition.
