A particle moves along a horizontal path, such that its velocity is given by v = m/s, where t is the time in seconds. If it is initially located at the origin O, determine the distance covered during t = 0 to t = 3.5.(in m)

A particle moves along a horizontal path, such that its velocity is given by v = ( 3 t 2 − 6 t ) m/s, where t is the time in seconds. If it is initially located at the origin O, determine the average speed during t = 0 to t = 3.5.(in m/s)

= 4 + 4 + 6.125
= 14.125.
