A: Ch.2: 13,17,�                                                                                            Name: Your Name               

                                                                                                       

13- The position of a particle moving along the x axis is given in centimeters by x = 5 + 2 t 3, where t is in seconds. Consider the time interval t = 2.00 s to t = 3.00 s.

 a) Calculate the average velocity.

b)�


Solution

a)

The average v is delta x/ delta t

Delta x =x(3s) � x (2s) and delta t = 3s-2s = 1s

 

x(3) = 5+2 . 27 = 59

x(2) = 5+ 2 . 8 = 21

 

Then, delta x = 59-21 = 38m

Then, av. v = 38/1 = 38 m/s

 

b) �..
