A military radar identified an unknown object flying above Andaman Sea. The Radar Intercept Officer (RIO) justified that this unknown flying object follows a motion equation, s(t) = sin t + 6t° where s in meter and t in second. Justify whether 3-point central difference has higher accuracy in approximating the velocity of the unknown flying object at 15+A second, comparing to 2-point forward difference and 2-point backward difference. Use small increment, h = 10-3. %3D A = 4

Use the linearization of f(x) = sin x about an appropriate point Xoto approximate sin 61o. Note that an angle of 61o is approximately n/3 radians.

use the following fact derived from Newton's Laws: An object released at an angle 0 with initial velocity v ft/s travels a horizontal distance sin 20 ft (Figure 10) 32 A player located 18.1 ft from the basket launches a successful jump shot from a height of 10 ft (level with the rim of the basket), at an angle 0 = 34° and initial velocity v = 25 f/s. (a) Show that As 0.255A0 ft for a small change of A0. (b) Is it likely that the shot would have been successful if the angle had been off by 2°? FIGURE 10 Trajectory of an object released at an angle 0.
