Back to 3.2 Instantaneous Velocity and Speed

3.2 Exercise 1

Avg difficulty 2.5

The position of an object as a function of time is x(t)=(–3m/s2)t2x \left(t\right) = \left(– 3 \text{m}/\text{s}^{2}\right) t^{2}. (a) What is the velocity of the object as a function of time? (b) Is the velocity ever positive? (c) What are the velocity and speed at t = 1.0 s?
