If a rock is thrown upward on the planet Mars with a velocity of 13 m/s, its height in meters t seconds later is given by y =( 13t - 1.86t^2)... (Round your answers to two decimal places.) (a) Find the average velocity over the given time intervals. (i) [1, 2] ______ m/s (ii) [1, 1.5] ______ m/s (iii) [1, 1.1] ______ m/s (iv) [1, 1.01] ______ m/s (v) [1, 1.001] ______ m/s Solution To find average velocity, you simply have to find the total distance divided by the total time for each interval: (i) Time = 2 - 1 = 1s Distance = (13(2) - 1.86(2)2) - (13(1) - 1.86(1)2) = 7.42 m. Average velocity = 7.42m / 1s = 7.42 m/s. (ii) T = .5s D = (13(1.5) - 1.86(1.5)2) - (13(1) - 1.86(1)2) = 4.175 m V = 4.175m / .5s = 8.35 m/s. (iii) T = .1s D = (13(1.1) - 1.86(1.1)2) - (13(1) - 1.86(1)2) = .9094 m V = .9094m / .1s = 9.094 m/s. (iv) T = .01s D = (13(1.01) - 1.86(1.01)2) - (13(1) - 1.86(1)2) = .092614 m V = .092614m / .01s = 9.2614 m/s. (v) T = .001s D = (13(1.001) - 1.86(1.001)2) - (13(1) - 1.86(1)2) = .00927814 m V = .00927814m / .001s = 9.27814 m/s..
