Suppose an object starts at time t=0 at a position defined as x=0 m. At t =.5 s the object is at x=1.5 m. At t =1 s the object is at 2.0 m. What is the average velocity for the first interval (approximated at t=.25 s) and the second interval (approximated at t=.75 s)? I'm mainly confused about what is meant by approximated at t=.25 and t=.75?

As an object moves along the x axis, many measurements are made of its position, enough to generate a smooth, accurate graph of x versus t. Which of the following quantities for the object cannot be obtained from this graph alone?

A hard rubber ball, not affected by air resistance in its motion, is tossed upward from shoulder height, falls to the sidewalk, rebounds to a smaller maximum height, and is caught on its way down again. This motion is represented in Figure OQ2.13, where the successive positions of the ball through are not equally spaced in time. At point the center of the ball is at its lowest point in the motion. The motion of the ball is along a straight, vertical line, but the diagram shows successive positions offset to the right to avoid overlapping. Choose the positive y direction to be upward. (a) Rank the situations through according to the speed of the ball |vy| at each point, with the largest speed first. (b) Rank the same situations according to the acceleration ay of the ball at each point. (In both rankings, remember that zero is greater than a negative value. If two values are equal, show that they are equal in your ranking.) Figure OQ2.13
