The position of a particle as a function of time is given by x = (2.0 m/s)t + (-3.0 m/s2)t2. (a) plot x-versus-t for time from t = 0 to t = 1.0 s. (do this on paper. your instructor may ask you to turn in this plot.) this answer has not been graded yet. (b) find the average velocity of the particle from t = 0.45 s to t = 0.55 s. m/s (c) find the average velocity from t = 0.49 s to t = 0.51 s.

Two cannon balls weighing 18 kg and 24 kg are chained together and fired horizontally with a velocity of 165 m/s from the top of a 21-m wall. the chain breaks during the flight of the cannonballs and the 18-kg cannonball strikes the ground at t = 1.5 s, at a distance of 240 m from the foot of the wall, and 7 m to the right of the line of fire. determine the position of the other cannonball at that instant. neglect the resistance of the air.
