An F-14 Tomcat fighter jet is taking off from the deck of the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier with the assistance of a steam-powered catapult. The jet's location along the flight deck is measured at intervals of 0.20 s. These measurements are tabulated as follows: t(s) 0.00 0.20 0.40 0.60 0.80 1.00 1.20 1.40 1.60 1.80 2.00 x (m) 0.0 0.7 3.0 6.6 11.8 18.5 26.6 36.2 47.3 59.9 73.9 a) Use difference formulas to calculate the jet's average velocity in the interval 1.00 s to 1.20 s.
