  • B
    $\frac{v_1 + v_2}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{2v_1 v_2}{v_1 + v_2}$
  • D
    $\frac{5v_1 v_2}{3v_1 + 2v_2}$

$A$ car travels in a straight line along a road. Its distance $x$ from a stop sign is given as a function of $t$ by the equation $x(t) = \alpha t + \beta t^3$, where $\alpha = 2.0 \ m \ s^{-1}$ and $\beta = 0.01 \ m \ s^{-3}$. Calculate the average velocity of the car in the time interval $t = 2.00 \ s$ to $t = 4.00 \ s$. (in $m \ s^{-1}$)
