For 0≤t≤30\le t\le 3 seconds, a particle moving along the xx-axis has velocity v(t)=sin⁡(πt)+2v(t)=\sin(\pi t)+2, where vv is measured in meters per second. At t=0t=0 the particle is 44 meters to the right of the origin. Respond to each part. Show all steps leading to numeric answers and include units. (a) Determine the displacement of the particle on the interval 0≤t≤30\le t\le 3. (b) Calculate the particle’s position s(3)s(3). (c) Compute the average velocity of the particle over 0≤t≤30\le t\le 3 and interpret this value in terms of the motion.
