Question: [ 2 0 points ] / have organized a race between a horse, a mouse with a jetpack, and a cheetah but he's depressed so

[20 points]/ have organized a race between a horse, a mouse with a jetpack, and a cheetah but he's depressed so he's not as fast as he usually would be. The three animals start at t=0 and move along a line according to the following velocity functions:
vHorse=1002-t,vMouse=-100(2-t)2,vCheetah=1002-t2
a. Which animal is in the lead after 1 second? In other words, which animal travels farthest on the interval 0t1?[5 points]
b. Which animal travels the farthest on the interval 0t5? As a note, the animals may end up going forward or backwards. Because they're animals, not professional racers. So a negative position is losing to a positive position. [5 points]
c. Find the position functions, s(t), for each animal assuming each animal starts at the origin.
