Homework Statement
Body's linear equation of motion is s= A + B*t + C*t^3 (A= 2.0m, B = 3.0 m/s, C = 0.010 m/s^3) What is the velocity and acceleration of a body on t= 0 s and t = 10 s. Calculate the velocity and accelerations average values within first 10 seconds, starting from start of the movement.
The Attempt at a Solution
For the first part of problem, i took derivative of equation to get velocity and 2nd derivative for acceleration
s' = B + 3*C*t^2
s'' = 6*C*t
and calculated the valuesNow for the second part, what i tried to do is replace t within the velocity equation with t=0 added by t= 1 added by t=2 and so forth all the way to 10 and divide the result by 10. I was wondering if this is the right way do this and if I am correct is there a shorter way?
Thanks in advance
