### Velocity

#### Problem 1
The position of an object is given as a function of time as \( x(t) = (3.0 \, \text{m/s})t + (2.0 \, \text{m/s}^2)t^2 \).

**What is the average velocity of the object between \( t = 0.0 \, s \) and \( t = 2.0 \, s \)?**

---

**Solution:**

1. First, find the position of the object at \( t = 0.0 \, s \):
    \[
    x(0) = (3.0 \, \text{m/s})(0) + (2.0 \, \text{m/s}^2)(0)^2 = 0 \, \text{m}
    \]

2. Next, find the position of the object at \( t = 2.0 \, s \):
    \[
    x(2) = (3.0 \, \text{m/s})(2) + (2.0 \, \text{m/s}^2)(2)^2
    \]
    \[
    x(2) = (3.0 \, \text{m/s})(2) + (2.0 \, \text{m/s}^2)(4)
    \]
    \[
    x(2) = 6.0 \, \text{m} + 8.0 \, \text{m} = 14.0 \, \text{m}
    \]

3. The average velocity (\( \overline{v} \)) between \( t = 0.0 \, s \) and \( t = 2.0 \, s \) is given by the change in position divided by the change in time:
    \[
    \overline{v} = \frac{x(2) - x(0)}{2.0 \, \text{s} - 0.0 \, \text{s}}
    \]
    \[
    \overline{v} = \frac{14.0 \, \text{m} - 0.0 \, \text{m}}{2.0 \, \text{s}}
    \]
    \[
    \overline{v} = \
