Question

A scooter begins at rest at t0=0.0s. The scooter starts moving, and eventually covers a distance d=886m in a time tf=176s. In a coordinate system with north being the positive x direction, the scooter's motion is towards the north.

1)What was the scooter's average speed, in meters per second, during this period? 

2)What was the scooter's displacement, in meters, in the northern direction during this period? 

3)What was the scooter's average velocity, in meters per second, in the northern direction during this period ? 

4)A second scooter begins traveling from rest at  t0=0.0s
  and stops at  t′f=176s. If this scooter's final velocity at  t′fwas  12.0m/s , then what was this scooter's average acceleration, in meters per squared second, in the northern direction?
