A car is stopped at a traffic light. It then travels along a straight road so that its distance from the light is given by equation x(t) = At2 – Bt3 , where A = 2.40 m/s2 and B = 0.120 m/s2 . (a) Calculate the average velocity of the car for the time interval t1 = 0s to t2 = 10.0 s (b) Calculate the instantaneous velocity of the car at t = 0s, t = 5.0s and t = 10.0s (c) How long after starting from rest is the car again at rest?
