Question

1. Estimate the velocity (dx/dt) of the jet fighter
2. Estimate the acceleration (d2x/dt2) of the jet fighter
3. Plot your results versus time.

A jet fighter's position on an aircraft carrier's runway was
timed during landing:
0.52 1.04 1.75 2.37 3.25 3.83
208 249 261 271 273
+ (s) 0
x (m) 153 185
where x is the distance from the end of the carrier.
