How to calculate average velocity of a particle if , its position is given

OpenStudy (anonymous):

position ? plz privide an example if psple :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Position - x= a+bt^2 a= 8.5 m b= 2.5 m What is the average velocity between t=2.0 s and t= 4.0 s Do we have to calculate inst velocity here for average?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well no , just fint x(2.0 ) and x(4,0 ) add then devide 2 which is the avg thats what im think off :O but im not sure , im very sleepy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes , 4x and 2x like how Can u elaborate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I won't take time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x= a+bt^2 well its like x= f(t )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So at 2 F(2) = a+4b ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So [a+16b - a- 4b]/2 6*b= 6*2.5 = 15m/s And that is the answer , yes , thank youu!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:) np

OpenStudy (anonymous):

waitttt ... im wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The textbook says so , lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(t) = a+bt^2 it tells u the position f(t)' =2bt gives u the velocity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well the tt book have the whol answer all only the avg ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2bt is the instantaneous velocity not average

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I didn't get what you were saying? well the tt book have the whol answer all only the avg ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

waittt ok ok then \(\large avg = \Huge \frac{f(t_1)+f(t_2)} {t_1 - t_2}\) ok nw its better :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im a bit sleepy lol so making typo's forgive meee :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(t1) - f(t2) IT IS NOT PLUS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok
