Checkpoint 3

  1. How long does it take you to run one lap at a speed of `5` meters per second? How long does it take to run half a lap? A quarter of a lap?

  2. How long does it take to sweep out an angle of `pitext[/]2?` An angle of `pitext[/]3?`

  3. Find a formula to express the swept-out angle `theta` in terms of the elapsed time `t.`

  4. Now find formulas for the `x`-coordinate and the
    `y`-coordinate as functions of time.
