A particle is moving along a straight line such that its position from a fixed point is s = (12 - 15t + 5t) m, where t is in seconds. Determine the total distance traveled by the particle from t= 1 s to t = 3 s. Also, find the average speed of the particle during this time interval.

Transcribed Image Text:A particle is moving along a straight line such that its position from a fixed point is s =
(12 - 15ť + 5t) m, where t is in seconds. Determine the total distance traveled by the
particle from t = 1 s to t = 3 s. Also, find the average speed of the particle during this time
interval.
Expert Solution

Step 1
Write the equation for the position of the particle.
Here, s is the position of the particle at t seconds.
Substitute 1 s for t. Calculate the position of the particle at 1 s.
Here, s1 is the position of the particle at 1 s.
