Question

An object moves along the x axis according to the equation

x = 3.10t2 2.00t + 3.00,

where x is in meters and t is in seconds.

(a) Determine the average speed between t = 3.50 s and t = 5.30 s.
m/s

(b) Determine the instantaneous speed at t = 3.50 s.
m/s

Determine the instantaneous speed at t = 5.30 s.
m/s

(c) Determine the average acceleration between t = 3.50 s and t = 5.30 s.
m/s2

(d) Determine the instantaneous acceleration at t = 3.50 s.
m/s2

Determine the instantaneous acceleration at t = 5.30 s.
m/s2

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

Explanation / Answer

5.64 m/s^2

d)

a = dv/dt

a = d/dt(6.2 t - 2)

a = 6.2 m/s^2
