Question

A bug is moving back and forth on a straight path. The velocity of the bug is given by vt=t2-3t. Find the average acceleration of the bug on the interval 1, 4.

Answer 1

Answer:

2 unit/time²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

v(t) =t^2-3t

At interval ; 1, 4

V(1) = 1^2 - 3(1)

V(1) = 1 - 3

V(1) = - 2

At t = 4

V(4) = 4^2 - 3(4)

V(4) = 16 - 12

V(4) = 4

Average acceleration : (final - Initial Velocity) / change in time

Average acceleration = (4 - (-2)) ÷ (4 - 1)

Average acceleration = (4 + 2) / 3

Average acceleration = 6 /3

Average acceleration = 2
