Question
An object's position as a function of time is given by r =12ti^+(15t5.0t2)j^m, where t is time in seconds.
Part A
Express your answer as a comma-separated pair of components. Express your answer using two significant figures.
What is the object's position at t=2.0s
Part B
Express your answer as a comma-separated pair of components. Express your answer using two significant figures.
What is its average velocity in the interval from t=0 to t=2.0s?
Part C
Express your answer as a comma-separated pair of components. Express your answer using two significant figures.
What is its instantaneous velocity at t=2.0s
Explanation / Answer
r = 12t i + (15t - 5t^2) j
A) at t = 2s
r = (12 x 2)i + (15x2 - 5(2^2))j
r = 24i + 10j m
B) average velocity= displacemnet / time interval
= (24i + 10j) - (0i + 0j) / 2
= 12 i + 5j m/s
C) v = dr/dt = 12i + (15 - 10t)j
at t = 2 s
v = 12i - 5j m/s
