The car stops at the traffic light. It then moves along a straight path so that its distance from the light is given by x(t) = bt² – ct³, where b = 2.40 and c = 0.120. a) Calculate the average velocity of the car for the time interval t= 0 to t = 10.0 s. b) Determine the car's instantaneous velocity at t = 0, t = 5s andt= 10s. c) How long after starting from rest is the car again at rest.
