Homework Help Overview
The problem involves determining when the instantaneous velocity of a particle, described by the position function s(t) = 3t² - 3t + 5 cm, equals the average velocity over a 10-second interval.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Conceptual clarification
Approaches and Questions Raised
- Participants discuss the calculation of instantaneous velocity using the derivative of the position function and express uncertainty about how to compute the average velocity for the trip.
Discussion Status
Some participants have provided calculations for instantaneous velocity but are seeking clarification on how to find the average velocity. There is an ongoing exploration of definitions and methods related to both types of velocity.
Contextual Notes
Participants have noted the importance of not cross-posting in different forums, which may lead to confusion in responses. There is an emphasis on providing attempts to solve the problem as part of the discussion.
