Answer:

18.52%

Step-by-step explanation:

Relative error can be described as the ratio of the measured absolute value to the actual value

relative error = (stated age - actual age) / actual age x 100

(32 - 27) / 27 x 100

5 / 27 x 100 = 18.52%

If a ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 70 ft/s, its height in feet after t seconds is given by
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

a) Average velocity at 0.1 s is 696 ft/s.

b) Average velocity at 0.01 s is 7536 ft/s.

c) Average velocity at 0.001 s is 75936 ft/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : If a ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 70 ft/s, its height in feet after t seconds is given by y = 70t-16t^2.

To find : The average velocity for the time period beginning when t = 2 and lasting.  a. 0.1 s. , b. 0.01 s. , c. 0.001 s.

Solution :    

a) The average velocity for the time period beginning when t = 2 and lasting 0.1 s.

(\text{Average velocity})_{0.1\ s}=\frac{\text{Change in height}}{0.1}

(\text{Average velocity})_{0.1\ s}=\frac{h_{2.1}-h_2}{0.1}

(\text{Average velocity})_{0.1\ s}=\frac{(70(2.1)-16(2.1)^2)-(70(0.1)-16(0.1)^2)}{0.1}

(\text{Average velocity})_{0.1\ s}=\frac{69.6}{0.1}

(\text{Average velocity})_{0.1\ s}=696\ ft/s

b) The average velocity for the time period beginning when t = 2 and lasting 0.01 s.

(\text{Average velocity})_{0.01\ s}=\frac{\text{Change in height}}{0.01}

(\text{Average velocity})_{0.01\ s}=\frac{h_{2.01}-h_2}{0.01}

(\text{Average velocity})_{0.01\ s}=\frac{(70(2.01)-16(2.01)^2)-(70(0.01)-16(0.01)^2)}{0.01}

(\text{Average velocity})_{0.01\ s}=\frac{75.36}{0.01}

(\text{Average velocity})_{0.01\ s}=7536\ ft/s

c) The average velocity for the time period beginning when t = 2 and lasting 0.001 s.

(\text{Average velocity})_{0.001\ s}=\frac{\text{Change in height}}{0.001}  

(\text{Average velocity})_{0.001\ s}=\frac{h_{2.001}-h_2}{0.001}

(\text{Average velocity})_{0.001\ s}=\frac{(70(2.001)-16(2.001)^2)-(70(0.001)-16(0.001)^2)}{0.001}

(\text{Average velocity})_{0.001\ s}=\frac{75.936}{0.001}

(\text{Average velocity})_{0.001\ s}=75936\ ft/s

72 x 3 = 216
216 x 5 = 1080
1080 - 4 = 1076
