(b) Determine the acceleration at t = 2.0 s.
SOLUTION
(Use the following as necessary: t and At.)
Knowing that the initial velocity at any time t is v,
xi
(39 – 0.8t2) m/s, find the velocity at any later time t + At:
m/s
Find the change in velocity over the time interval At:
Δν.

We can still estimate distances using the time periods At; = ti – ti-1.

The table, provided by NASA, gives the velocity data for the shuttle between liftoff and the jettisoning of the solid rocket boosters.
