Textbook Question
Chapter 11.3, Problem 42E
Velocity A car is moving along a straight test track. The position in feet of the car, s(t), at various times t is measured, with the following results.
t (sec) | 0 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 |
s(t) (ft) | 0 | 10 | 14 | 20 | 30 | 36 |
Find and interpret the average velocities for the following changes in t.
- (a) 0 to 2 seconds
- (b) 2 to 4 seconds
- (c) 4 to 6 seconds
- (d) 6 to 8 seconds
- (e) Estimate the instantaneous velocity at 4 seconds
- (i) by finding the average velocity between 2 and 6 seconds, and
- (ii) by averaging the answers for the average velocity in the two seconds before and the two seconds after (that is, the answers to parts (b) and (c)).
- (f) Estimate the instantaneous velocity at 6 seconds using the two methods in part (e).
- (g) Notice in parts (e) and (f) that your two answers are the same. Discuss whether this will always be the case, and why or why not.
