Transcribed Image Text:8. A particle is moving in a straight line such that the relation below gives its position. Calculate (a) its 2.00 s to t₂ = 5.00 s, and (b) its instantaneous = average acceleration during the time interval from t₁ acceleration as a function of time. x=(7.2 m/s²)² + (0.3 m/s)+(2.1m)
Expert Solution
Step 1

position as a function of time is given as

x(t)=7.2 m/s2×t2 + 0.3 m/s×t+2.1 mvelocity is defined as the rate of change of position of the particlev(t) = dx(t)dtv(t) =7.2 m/s2×2×t + 0.3 m/s×1+0v(t) =14.4 m/s2×t+ 0.3 m/sa)let aavg denotes the average acceleration during the time interval from t1 = 2 sto t2 = 5 saavg = vtwhere v is the change in velocityt is change in timet = t2-t1 = 5 - 2 s = 3 s
