Really struggling with this concept.

Please explain so I can better understand !

Thank you so much

The position of a particle along the x-axis is given by x(t) = 3t3 - 2t2 - 4t + 5.. What is the
average velocity between t1 = 1-s and t2 = 2-s?. What is the instantaneous velocity at t = 1.5-s
Transcribed Image Text:The position of a particle along the x-axis is given by x(t) = 3t3 - 2t2 - 4t + 5.. What is the average velocity between t1 = 1-s and t2 = 2-s?. What is the instantaneous velocity at t = 1.5-s
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data: 

The position of the particle as function of time

x(t) = 3t3 - 2t2 - 4t + 5

Required:

The average velocity between t1 = 1s and t2 = 2s

Instantaneous velocity at t = 1.5 s
