Question
A stone is tossed into the air from ground level with an initial velocity of 31 m/s. Its height at time t is
h(t) = 31t − 4.9t2
m. Compute the stone's average velocity over the time intervals
[2, 2.01], [2, 2.001], [2, 2.0001],
and
[1.99, 2], [1.999, 2], [1.9999, 2].
(Round your answers to three decimal places.)
and Estimate the instantaneous velocity v at
t = 2
