3. (I) A particle at t₁ = -2.0s is at x₁ = 4.8 cm and at 12 t₂ = 4.5 s is at x2₂ = 8.5 cm. What is its average velocity over this time interval? Can you calculate its average speed from these data? Why or why not?

You are told to drive half a trip at 20 m/s and the other half of the trip at 30 m/s. It is not clear from the directions whether this means to drive half the time at each speed or drive half the distance at each speed.
10) An object has a position given by [2.0 m+ (5.00 m/s)] + [3.0 m - 2.00 m/s2)/2, where quantities 7 are in SI units. What is the speed of the object at time -2.00 s? 10) A) 7.65 m/s B) 7.00 m/s C) 13.0 m/s D) 6.40 m/s E) 9.43 m/s
3. ि Ferrari is one of the fastest hypercars commercially produced, capable of reaching a speed of over 340 km/h. Some time at the race, its velocity is recorded at a whopping 358 km/h. If it accelerates at a constant rate of 7 km/hr², how long would it take to finish the race from the moment its velocity was recorded up to the finish line, which is 4500km long?
4) It is known that from t = 2 s to t = 10 s the acceleration of a particle is inversely proportional to the cube of the time t. When t 2 s, v = -15 m/s, and when t 10s., v 0.36 m/s. Knowing that the particle is twice as far from the origin when t 2s as it is when t 10 s, determine (a) the position of the particle when t 2 s and when t = 10 s, (b) the total distance traveled by the particle from t 2 s to tt = 10 s.
(a) The velocity of a particle changes from v1 = 2?̂+ 5?̂-3?̂ m/s to v2 = 5?̂- 7?̂+ 2?̂ m/s in 2 s. What is its average acceleration?(b) A particle has an acceleration of a = -7?̂ + 3?̂ m/s2for a period of 4 s. After this time the velocity is V2 = 6?̂- 2?̂ m/s. What was the initial velocity?
