A body moves on a coordinate line such that it has a position
a. Find the body's displacement and average velocity for the given time interval.
b. Find the body's speed and acceleration at the endpoints of the interval.
c. When, if ever, during the interval does the body change direction?
Final Answer:
Step 1 :At time
Step 2 :At time
Step 3 :The displacement of the body is
Step 4 :The average velocity of the body is the displacement divided by the time interval, which is
Step 5 :At the endpoints of the interval,
Step 6 :At
Step 7 :The acceleration of the body is the derivative of the velocity, which is
Step 8 :The body changes direction when the velocity changes sign, which happens when
Step 9 :So, the body's displacement and average velocity for the given time interval are
Step 10 :Final Answer:
