a.
To find: The slope of the secants
a.
Answer to Problem 7E
Units for the slopes will be meters/second.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The points are:
Concept used:
The slope of secant between the points
Calculation:
Slope of the secant
Slope of the secant
Slope of the secant
Slope of the secant
In tabular form:
Units for the slopes will be unit of distance/ unit of elapsed time. So, unit is: meters/second.
b.
To estimate: The velocity at the point P .
b.
Answer to Problem 7E
The estimated velocity at point P is 50 meter/ sec.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The points are:
Concept used:
The slope of secant between the points
Calculation:
Slope of the secant
Hence the estimated velocity is 50m/sec
