Question

An object moves along the x axis according to the equation

x = 3.30t2 2.00t + 3.00,

where x is in meters and t is in seconds.

(a) Determine the average speed between t = 2.20 s and t = 4.20 s.
m/s

(b) Determine the instantaneous speed at t = 2.20 s.
m/s

Determine the instantaneous speed at  t = 4.20 s.
m/s

(c) Determine the average acceleration between t = 2.20 s and t = 4.20 s.
m/s2

(d) Determine the instantaneous acceleration at t = 2.20 s.
m/s2

Determine the instantaneous acceleration at t = 4.20 s.
m/s2

(e) At what time is the object at rest?
s

Explanation / Answer

v(t)=dx/dt

=d/dt(3.30t2 2.00t + 3.00)

=6.6t-2 m/sec

(a) the average speed between t = 2.20 s and t = 4.20 s

v(2.20)=6.6*2.20-2

=12.52 m/sec

v(4.20)=6.6*4.20-2

=25.72 m/sec

v(avg)=12.52+25.72/(4.20-2.20)

=19.12 m/sec--answer a

b)v(2.20)=v(2.20)=6.6*2.20-2

=12.52 m/sec

c)v(4.20)=

v(4.20)=6.6*4.20-2

=25.72 m/sec

c)a=dv/dt

=d/dt(6.6t-2)

=6.6

a = dv/dt = 6.6m/s^2 = constant

d) same as c as accleration is constant

a=6.6m/s^2

e)when v=0

now by taking dx/dt =0

dx/dt = 6.6t-2=0

6.6t=2

t=2/6.6

t=0.3 sec
