Question

9. (a) and (b) are already solved.

(c), (d), and (e) need to be solved.

9.
The position of a car is given by the formula x(t) = -9+ 2t
a)
What units must the -9 and the 2 have so that x(t) has units of meters?
2 is m/s^2 and -9 is m (meters)
What is the position of the car at t=2s and t=7s?
b)
t=2s is -1 and t=7s is 89|
c)
What is the average velocity of the car as it moves between the two positions you
found above
d) Take the derivative of the position formula to find the velocity formula.
e)
What is the instantaneous velocity of the car at 3s and 6s?
