A car stopped at a traffic light. It then travels along a straight road so that its distance from the light is given by x(t)=〖bt〗^2-〖ct〗^3 where, b=2.40m/s^2 and c=0.120m/s^3 a) Calculate the average velocity of the car for the time interval t=0s to t=10.0s b) Calculate the instantaneous velocity of the car at t=0s; t=5.0s; and t=10.0s
