If you were to climb the pyramid from base to top (which is forbidden!), what distance along the face of the pyramid would you travel?

You need to be more specific.  i really don't know what a "motion map" is.you can draw a graph of an object's position, distance, displacement, speed,velocity, or acceleration versus time, or you can draw a graph of the object's x-position versus its y-position and not give any information about time at all.if the graph presents position or displacement against time,  then constant velocity is a straight line . . i.e. a line that has  constant slope.if the graph shows speed against time, then constant velocityis a horizontal piece of line.if the graph shows acceleration against time, then constant  velocity is a piece of line that lies on the x-axis . . it's value is zero. 

We can infer that star y is closer but other factors must be considered including the heat of the star, the mass, and the brightness of the star. even though star x seems dimmer it may just be less bright or contain less heat.

Year  1936,  lehman predicted that the earths 'inner core' is solid. she observed that the seismic signals during her study were bent and did not pass through instead bouncing back. later it was confirmed that the earth's inner core was solid made up of nickel-iron and had a molten outer core.
