If the position of a particle on the x-axis at time t is −5t2, then the average velocity of the particle for 0 ≤ t ≤ 3 is

Respuesta :

Answer:

v = 15 m / s

Explanation:

In this exercise we are given the position function

          x = 5 t²

and we are asked for the average velocity in an interval between t = 0 and t= 3 s, which is defined by the displacement between the time interval

          [tex]v= \frac{v_{f} - v_{o} }{t_{f} - t_{o} }[/tex]

let's look for the displacements

        t = 0     x₀ = 0 m

        t = 3     [tex]x_{f}[/tex] = 5 3 2

                     x_{f} = 45 m

 

we substitute

           [tex]v = \frac{45 -0}{3 - 0}[/tex]

           v = 15 m / s
