  • A
    $\frac{v_1 + v_2}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{v_1 v_2}{v_1 + v_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{2 v_1 v_2}{v_1 + v_2}$
  • D
    $\frac{v_1 + v_2}{3}$

The position of an object moving along the $X$-axis is given by $x = \alpha + \beta t^2$, where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are constants with appropriate dimensions and $t$ is time in seconds. The average velocity between $t = 2 \ s$ and $t = 4 \ s$ is $12 \ m/s$. If $\alpha = 8 \ m$, then the value of $\beta$ is: (in $m/s^2$)

The position of an object moving along the $x$-axis is given by $x = a + b t^2$,where $a = 8.5 \; m$,$b = 2.5 \; m s^{-2}$,and $t$ is measured in seconds. What is the average velocity between $t = 2.0 \; s$ and $t = 4.0 \; s$ (in $; m s^{-1}$)?
