2.6 • A Honda Civic travels in a straight line along a road. Its distance x from a stop sign is given as a function of time t by the equation x(t) = at² – Bt³, where a = 1.50 m/s2 and B = 0.0500 m/s. Calculate the average velocity of the car for each time interval: (a) t = 0 to t = 2.00 s; (b) t = 0 to t = 4.00 s; (c) t = 2.00 s to t = 4.00 s.

Question
2.6 • A Honda Civic travels in a straight line along a road. Its
distance x from a stop sign is given as a function of time t by the
equation x(1) = at? – Bt³, where a = 1.50 m/s² and B =
0.0500 m/s. Calculate the average velocity of the car for each
time interval: (a) t = 0 to t = 2.00 s; (b) t = 0 to t
(c) t = 2.00 s to t
= 4.00 s;
4.00 s.
