A car travels along a straight line. Its distance, x, from a reference point as a function of time,
t, is: x(t) = αt^2 − βt
3 Where: α = 1.50 m/s^2

, β = 0.00500 m/s^3
, t is in s

Calculate the average velocity of the car for each time interval:

(a) t = 1.50 to t = 2.00 s;

(b) t = 0 to t = 3.50s;

(c) t = 1.00 s to t = 4.00 s;

(d) t = 0.50 s to t = 2.50 s.
