a) Average velocity: 2.8 m/s
b) Average velocity: 5.2 m/s
c) Average velocity: 7.6 m/s
Explanation:
a)
The car's position over time t can be described by

where


To find the average velocity, we divide the displacement by the elapsed time:

At time t = 0, the position is:

At time t = 2.00 s, the position is:

This leads us to the displacement of

The duration for this interval is

Therefore, the average velocity during this period is

b)
At time t = 0, the position is:

At time t = 4.00 s, the position is:

Thus, the displacement is

The time interval is

This yields an average velocity of

c)
The position at t = 2 s is:

And at t = 4 s it is:

This gives us a displacement of

While the time interval is

So the resulting average velocity is
