(4 pts) 2) A particle's position is given by the function $s(t) = t^2 - 2t + 6$. Find the average velocity of the particle on the interval $[2, 2.5]$

Step 1
The average velocity of a particle is defined as the change in position divided by the change in time. In this case, we need to find the change in position and the change in time. Show more…

The position of a particle at time t is s(t) = 4t^3. Compute the average velocity over the time interval [4, 6]. Estimate the instantaneous velocity at t = 4.

The position of a particle at time $t$ is $s(t)=2 t^{3}$. Compute the average velocity over the time interval [2,4] and estimate the instantaneous velocity at $t=2$.
Limits
The Limit Idea: Instantaneous Velocity and Tangent Lines
A particle moves along a straight line such that its position is defined by x = (t^3 - 3t^2 + 2) m. Determine the average velocity, the average speed, and the acceleration of the particle when t = 4 s. (With Illustrations) 25 POINTS
