Problem

The position of a particle moving along a straight line is given by x(t)=3t2−2t+5x(t)=3t^{2}-2t+5 metres, where tt is in seconds. (a) Write the expression for its instantaneous velocity as a function of time. (b) Calculate the instantaneous velocity at t=2 st=2\,\text{s}. (c) Determine the average velocity of the particle during the interval t=0t=0 to t=2 st=2\,\text{s}.
