Answer:
a) v(2) = 2m/s, v(3) = -2m/s
b) speed at t = 2s is 2m/s
speed at t = 3s is 2m/s
c) 0 m/s
Explanation:
We can take the derivative of x(t) to find the equation of velocity
v(t) = x'(t) = 10 - 4t
(a) v(2) = 10 - 4*2 = 10 - 8 = 2 m/s
v(3) = 10 - 4*3 = 10 - 12 = -2 m/s
(b) The speed would be the same as velocity without the direction
speed at t = 2s is 2m/s
speed at t = 3s is 2m/s
(c) The average velocity between t = 2s and t = 3s is distance it travels over period of time
[tex]v_a = \frac{s(3) - s(2)}{\Delta t} = \frac{10*3 - 2*3^2 - (10*2 - 2*2^2)}{3 - 2}[/tex]
[tex]v_a = \frac{12 - 12}{1} = 0/1 = 0 m/s[/tex]
