Answer:
The average velocity is
and
respectively.
Explanation:
Let's start writing the vertical position equation :
Where distance is measured in meters and time in seconds.
The average velocity is equal to the position variation divided by the time variation.
= Δx / Δt =
For the first time interval :
t1 = 5 s → t2 = 8 s
The time variation is :
For the position variation we use the vertical position equation :
Δx = x2 - x1 = 1049 m - 251 m = 798 m
The average velocity for this interval is
For the second time interval :
t1 = 4 s → t2 = 9 s
Δx = x2 - x1 = 1495 m - 125 m = 1370 m
And the time variation is t2 - t1 = 9 s - 4 s = 5 s
The average velocity for this interval is :
Finally for the third time interval :
t1 = 1 s → t2 = 7 s
The time variation is t2 - t1 = 7 s - 1 s = 6 s
Then
The position variation is x2 - x1 = 701 m - (-1 m) = 702 m
The average velocity is
