During the time interval from 0.0 to 10.0 s, the position vector of a car on a road is given by x(t) = a + bt + ct2, with a = 17.2 m, b = -10.1 m/s, and c = 1.10 m/s2. What is the car’s velocity as a function of time? What is the car’s average velocity during this interval?

im stuck with this :(


Sagot :

The car’s velocity as a function of time is b + 2ct and the car’s average velocity during this interval is 0.9 m/s.

Average velocity of the car

The average velocity of the car is calculated as follows;

x(t) = a + bt + ct2

v = dx/dt

v(t) = b + 2ct

v(0) = -10.1 m/s + 2(1.1)(0) = -10.1 m/s

v(10) = -10.1 + 2(1.1)(10) = 11.9 m/s

Average velocity

V = ¹/₂[v(0) + v(10)]

V = ¹/₂ (-10.1  + 11.9 )

V = 0.9 m/s

Thus, the car’s velocity as a function of time is b + 2ct and the car’s average velocity during this interval is 0.9 m/s.
