The velocity of a particle at t = 4 s is 50 m/s; at t = 6 s, it is 50 m/s. Calculate the average acceleration during the time interval. Please provide your answer in m/s\textsuperscript{2} and round to the nearest two decimal places.

Average acceleration in two dimensions At time t = 0.0 seconds, a particle has a velocity of 8.1 m/s at θ = 30 degrees, measured with respect to the X-axis in the counterclockwise direction. At time t = 3.0 seconds, the particle has a velocity of 30 m/s at θ = 50 degrees, measured with respect to the X-axis in the counterclockwise direction. What is the magnitude of the average acceleration of the particle between the two moments mentioned above? To save some time, you can use (for angles in degrees): sin(30) = 0.5, cos(30) = 0.866 sin(50) = 0.766, cos(50) = 0.642

A particle has zero velocity initially (i.e., at time t = 0) and its acceleration at t seconds is a(t) = 50t - 4t^3 meters-per-second per second. During the time interval [4, 7] seconds, (i) the average acceleration of this particle is -440 meters-per-second per second (ii) the average speed of this particle is 221.38 meters-per-second.

At t = 2 s, a certain particle has a speed of 10 m/s and is moving at an angle of 30∘ above the +x axis. At t = 6 s the same particle is moving at 5 m/s straight down at angle of 90∘ below the +x axis. Calculate the magnitude of its average acceleration.
