Question

Q2. The altitude of a rocket in the first half-minute of its ascent is given by x = bt2, where x is the altitude and b = 2.90 m/s2 is a constant.
a) Find a general expression for the rocket’s velocity as a function of time.
b) Find the rocket’s instantaneous velocity at t = 20 s.
c) Find an expression for the average velocity of the rocket. Find the average velocity after during the first 20 seconds.
d) Compare your two velocities (instantaneous and average). Is there a difference and if so why?
