Astronauts on a distant planet toss a rock into the air.

Chapter 2, Problem 76

(choose chapter or problem)

Astronauts on a distant planet toss a rock into the air. With the aid of a camera that takes pictures at a steady rate, they record the rocks height as a function of time as given in the following table. (a) Find the rocks average velocity in the time interval between each measurement and the next. (b) Using these average velocities to approximate instantaneous velocities at the midpoints of the time intervals, make a graph of velocity as a function of time. (c) Does the rock move with constant acceleration? If so, plot a straight line of best fit on the graph and calculate its slope to find the acceleration.
