Respuesta :
bearing in mind that the derivative of s(t) is s'(t) = velocity, thus
[tex]\bf s(t)=-2-6t\implies \left. \cfrac{ds}{dt}=-6 \right|_{t=2}\implies -6[/tex]
namely a negative rate, so the object is slowing down to a stop.
Answer:
the instantaneous velocity at t = 2 is -6
Step-by-step explanation:
The position of an object at time t is given by s(t) = -2 - 6t
To find instantaneous velocity we take derivative s'(t)
s(t)= -2-6t
s'(t)= 0 -6=-6
To find instantaneous velocity at t= 2, we plug in 2 for t
there is no 't' in s'(t)
so s'(2)= -6
the instantaneous velocity at t = 2 is -6
