Homework Statement


An object starts from rest at the origin and moves along the x-axis with a constant
acceleration of 4m/s^2. Its average velocity as it goes from x=2m to x=8m is?

Homework Equations


I think V=bt^2. But not quite sure.


The Attempt at a Solution



No idea, how to solve.

find the general formula for average velocity.
and, find "t", using the given data, and one of those uniform acceleration equations
