What is the average velocity of the motorcycle?

1k Views Asked by At

The position of a person riding in a motorcycle race is give by $s(t)=4t^2+3t$, where $t$ measures time in seconds since the race began, and position is measured in feet beyond the starting line. Determine the average velocity of the motorcycle rider on the interval $[1,4]$. Include units in your answer.

My answer that I got is $20.33$ m/sec but a friend is getting a different answer.

I think you are wrong

correct answer is 23

average velocity = change in displacement /time taken

             = (s(t=4)-s(t=1))/4-1

             = (76 - 7) / 3

             = 23
