Question

6) The following table gives the velocity (in feet per sec.) of a solid fuel model rocket as a function of its time in flight (in seconds). Time (sec.) 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3 3.5 Velocity (ps.) 90.3 74.8 59.2 43.4 27.8 12.1 -4.2 a) Use the given data to construct a scatterplot with velocity as the input. Use the graphic at right. b) What is happening to the rocket between time t = 3 secs. And += 3.5 Seco Find the specific linear function that best e best type of function to model this data according to the scatterplat? Why? +145 the data? find the specific linear function that reach is maximum d) height When do you expect the rocket to reach its maximum height (Hint: This is the same as asking when the rocket will have zero velocity.) e) What will the rocket's velocity be at t = 2.2 seconds?
