Question: A model rocket is fired vertically upward from ground level. The height after t seconds is given by s(t) = 192t -16t 2 feet. (a)

A model rocket is fired vertically upward from ground level. The height after t seconds is given by s(t) = 192t -16t2 feet.

(a) What is the average velocity of the rocket from t=1 to t=1.1 seconds?

(b) What is the average velocity of the rocket from t=1 to t=1.01 seconds?

(c) What is the average velocity of the rocket from t=1 to t=1.001 seconds?

(d) Use parts (a) - (c) to estimate the instantaneous velocity at t=1 second.
