Homework Statement
Serway Physics Section 2.4 Acceleration
(a) Use the data in Problem 5 to construct a smooth graph of position
versus time. (b) By constructing tangents to the x(t) curve, find the instantaneous
velocity of the car at several instants. (c) Plot the instantaneous velocity versus time
and, from this information, determine the average acceleration of the car.
(d) What was the initial velocity of the car?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
[/B]
Is part (a) correct?
Any hints for part (b) ? For example if I take a tangent to x(t) at time 1.0s what is the instantaneous velocity at t=1.0 s?
