Question
  1. The data given below comes from 2006 NASA space shuttle mission flown by the space shuttle Discovery.
  1. Plot the following quantities as a function of time
  1. Altitude
  2. Velocity
  3. Acceleration
  1. The radial velocity of the space shuttle is the component of the velocity that points in the direction of the radius connecting the shuttle to Earth’s center. From your altitude versus time graph, estimate the radial speed at
  1. t= 40 s
  1. t=80 s
  1. t=120 s
Time (s)
Altitude (m)
Velocity (m/s) Acceleration (m/s?)
