Answer:
(a) [tex]V_{avg}=2.868m/s[/tex]
(b) [tex]V_{avg}=5.352m/s[/tex]
(c) [tex]V_{avg}=7.836m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
Given data
x(t)=αt²-βt³
α=1.53m/s²
β=0.0480m/s³
First we need to find distance x at these time so
x(t)=1.53t²-0.0480t³
at t=0
x(0)=1.53(0)²-0.0480(0)³=0m
at t=2
x(2)=1.53(2)²-0.0480(2)³=5.736m
at t=4s
x(4)=1.53(4)²-0.0480(4)³=21.408 m
For(a) Average velocity at t=0s to t=2s
The average velocity is given as
Vavg=Δx/Δt
[tex]V_{avg}=\frac{x_{f}-x_{i} }{t_{f}-t_{i}}\\ As\\x(0)=0m\\x(2)=5.736m\\V_{avg}=\frac{5.736m-0m }{2s-0s}\\V_{avg}=2.868m/s[/tex]
For(b) Average velocity at t=0s to t=4s
The average velocity is given as
Vavg=Δx/Δt
[tex]V_{avg}=\frac{x_{f}-x_{i} }{t_{f}-t_{i}}\\ As\\x(0)=0m\\x(4)=21.408m\\V_{avg}=\frac{21.408m-0m }{4s-0s}\\V_{avg}=5.352m/s[/tex]
For(c) Average velocity at t=2s to t=4s
The average velocity is given as
Vavg=Δx/Δt
[tex]V_{avg}=\frac{x_{f}-x_{i} }{t_{f}-t_{i}}\\ As\\x(2)=5.736m\\x(4)=21.408m\\V_{avg}=\frac{21.408m-5.736m }{4s-2s}\\V_{avg}=7.836m/s[/tex]
