The Castling Race: Push Pawns, Count Tempi, Win

Good day, chess world!

This is the eleventh game in Capablanca's own Chess Fundamentals book and it is a textbook opposite-side castling attack.
Playing White against Dawid Janowski. Capablanca castles kingside and sends his queenside pawns at the enemy king.
When kings are on different sides of the board, the game turns into a race to open lines against the opponent's king.

Four exercises from the game

Try to solve each before you watch. Capablanca is White here and wins the race, so every exercise asks for White's move, the pawn-storm technique that got there first. The answers are in the full game at the bottom, in the video, and in the website lesson linked below.

Exercise 1. White to play (move 11). The kings are on opposite wings. Which quiet rook move prepares the queenside pawn storm?

Exercise 2. White to play (move 15). Which pawn thrust rips open the files in front of the black king?

Exercise 3. White to play (move 17). Which knight jump to the outpost dominates the board and feeds the attack?

Exercise 4. White to play (move 31). Which queen move finishes on the light squares around the black king?
