The average velocity of the object after during the first three seconds is: 48m/s
The time at which the instantaneous velocity equals the average velocity within the first three seconds is 1.5 seconds.
What is instantaneous and average velocities?
Instantaneous velocity is the speed of an object at a particular point in time.
Average velocity is the velocity of an object after covering a certain distance for a period of time
Analysis:
Given
initial height = 600 feet
Height with respect to time = f(t) = -16[tex]t^{2}[/tex] + 600
a) Height at t = 0 = 600 feet
Height at t = 3 seconds = f(3) = -16[tex](3)^{2}[/tex] + 600 = 456 feet
Distance travelled = 600 - 456 = 144 feet
Average velocity = distance travelled/time taken = 144/3 = 48 feet/seconds
b) instantaneous velocity at time t = [tex]\frac{df(t)}{dt}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{d(-16t^{2} + 600) }{dt}[/tex] = -32t
when instantaneous velocity equal average velocity
-32t = -48
t = 1.5 seconds
In conclusion, the Average velocity after 3 seconds is 48 feet per seconds and the time taken for the average velocity to equal the instantaneous velocity is 1.5 seconds.
