SOLUTION
SET UP Figure 2.10b shows the diagram we sketch. First we define a
coordinate system, orienting it so that the cheetah runs in the +x direc-
tion. We add the points we are interested in, the values we know, and the
values we will need to find for parts (a) and (b).
40.0 m - 25.0 m
2.00 s-1.00 s
We draw an axis.
We point it in the
direction the
cheetah runs, so
that our values
will be positive.

SOLVE Part (a): To find the displacement Ax, we first find the so that
cheetah's positions (the values of x) at time t₁ = 1.00 s and at time
12=2.00 s by substituting the values of t into the given equation. At
time = 1.00 s, the cheetah's position x₁ is
x₁ = 20.0 m+ (5.00 m/s²) (1.00 s)² = 25.0 m.

We mark the initial
positions of the cheetah
and the antelope. (We
won't use the antelope's
position-but we don't
know that yet.)
Ax= x₂ = x₁ = 40.0 m - 25.0 m
Part (b): Knowing the displacement from 1.00 s to 2.00 s, we can now
find the average velocity for that interval:

exactly) equal to the average velocity in the interval from t₁ =-

If you use the same procedure to find the average velocities for
intervals of 0.01 s and 0.001 s, you get 10.05 m/s and 10.005-
respectively. As At gets smaller and smaller, the average velocity
closer and closer to 10.0 m/s. We conclude that the instanta
velocity at time t = 1.0 s is 10.0 m/s.
REFLECT As the time interval At approaches zero, the average
ity in the interval is closer and closer to the limiting value 1-
which we call the instantaneous velocity at time t =
1.00 s.E
when we calculate an average velocity, we need to specify twa
the beginning and end times of the interval-but for inst
velocity at a particular time, we specify only that one time.
