### Motion Along an x-axis

The position of an object moving along an x-axis is given by the function:

\[ x = 3.09t - 4.24t^2 + 1.05t^3 \]

Where:
- \( x \) is the position in meters (m)
- \( t \) is the time in seconds (s)

#### Problems:

1. **Determine the position of the object at the following values of \( t \):**
    - (a) \( t = 1 \text{ s} \)
    - (b) \( t = 2 \text{ s} \)
    - (c) \( t = 3 \text{ s} \)
    - (d) \( t = 4 \text{ s} \)
   
2. **Additional Questions:**
    - (e) What is the object's displacement between \( t = 0 \) s and \( t = 4 \) s?
    - (f) What is its average velocity from \( t = 2 \) s to \( t = 4 \) s?

#### Answer Form:

(a) Position at 1 second: \( x \) = [Text box for numerical input] [Dropdown menu for units]

(b) Position at 2 seconds: \( x \) = [Text box for numerical input] [Dropdown menu for units]

(c) Position at 3 seconds: \( x \) = [Text box for numerical input] [Dropdown menu for units]

(d) Position at 4 seconds: \( x \) = [Text box for numerical input] [Dropdown menu for units]

(e) Displacement between \( t = 0 \) s and \( t = 4 \) s: \( \Delta x \) = [Text box for numerical input] [Dropdown menu for units]

(f) Average velocity from \( t = 2 \) s to \( t = 4 \) s: \( \bar{v} \) = [Text box for numerical input] [Dropdown menu for units]

**Note:**
For (a), (b), (c), and (d), calculate the position by substituting the corresponding value of \( t \) into the equation given. For (e), find the difference in position \( x \) at \( t = 4 \) s and \( x \) at \( t = 0 \
