The equation: s = 2 - 3t + 4t^3 show the distance s and time t taken by a particle to move along a straight line. The avg velocity of the particle is?

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

when the time is 3 second.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

ah ! thats the velocity when t = 3 have you done any calculus. Differentiation?

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

yes! i got this: -3 + 12t^2 = s

OpenStudy (welshfella):

nearly - thats ds/dt or the velocity at time t

OpenStudy (welshfella):

so if you plug t = 3 into this function youll get the answer.

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

got 73 ...
