To determine the average and instantaneous velocity of a particle given its position vectors at two points and the time taken to move between them, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Position Vectors**: Let the position vector of the particle at point 1 be denoted as \( \mathbf{O_1} \) and at point 2 as \( \mathbf{O_2} \). 2. **Calculate the Displacement**: ...
