Question

An object moves along the y axis according to the equation y = 1.25t3 - 5.00t + 2.50, where y is in meters and t is in seconds. Determine (a) the average speed between t = 1.00 s and t = 4.00 s, (b) the instantaneous speed at t = 1.00 s and at t = 4.00 s, (c) the average acceleration between t = 1.00 s and t = 4.00 s, and (d) the instantaneous acceleration at t = 1.00 s and t = 4.00 s. (e) At what time is the object at rest?
