Question
Q5 (f)
Q5. The position of an object moving along a straight line is given by x = 3 – 2t2 + 3t3 where x is in meters and t in seconds.
(a) Derive the expressions for the velocity and acceleration of the object as a function of time.
(b) Find the average velocity between t = 2 s and t = 4 s ; between t = 0s and t = 45 ; between t = 1 s and t = 3 s.
(c) What is th instantaneous velocity at t = 2 s? At t = 5 s ?
(d) At what time (s) is / are the instantaneous velocities zero?
(e) When does the instantaneous velocity have a maximum or a minimum value?
(f) Find the average acceleration between t = 2 s and t = 5 s; between t = 1 s and t = 3 s
(g) When is the instantaneous acceleration of the object zero?
