The distance xm travelled by a particle in time t seconds is described by the equation x = 10 + 12t
2, Find the average speed of the particle between the time interval t = 2s and t = 5s
-
A.
60 ms-1
-
B.
72 ms-1
-
C.
84 ms-1
-
D.
108 ms-1
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
speed = \(\frac{dx}{dt}\)
\(\frac{dx}{dt}\) = 10 + 12t2
\(\frac{dx}{dt}\) = 24t
\(\frac{dx}{dt}\) =24 x 3
\(\frac{dx}{dt}\) = 72 ms-1
