Module 9 - Answers
 
Lesson 1
 
 Answer 1
 
9.1.1

  1. The average velocity from t = 0 to t = 0.16 is approximately -0.931 m/s.
  2. The average velocity from t = 0.16 to t = 0.28 is approximately -2.183 m/s.
 
 Answer 2
 
9.1.2 The book is falling faster during the time interval from t = 0.16 to t = 0.28.
 
Lesson 2
 
 Answer 1
 
9.2.1

Data Points Average Velocity
(0.16, 0.716) to (0.26, 0.506) -2.1 m/s
(0.16, 0.716) to (0.22, 0.600) -1.933 m/s
(0.16, 0.716) to (0.18, 0.681) -1.75 m/s

 
 Answer 2
 
9.2.2    -1.75 m/s is the best approximation of the instantaneous velocity at t = 0.16 seconds because it is based on a shorter time interval.
 
 Answer 3
 
9.2.3 The average velocities are -1.654463 m/s, -1.6504103 m/s, and -1.65000503 m/s, respectively.
 
Lesson 3
