Question

If a ball is thrown in the air with a velocity 48 ft/s, its height in feet t seconds later is given by y = 48t − 16t2. Find the average velocity for the time period beginning when t = 2 and lasting. A. 0.5 second B. 0.1 second C. 0.05 second D. 0.01 second.

Answer 1

To calculate the average velocity for the given time period, we need the height at the end of the time period.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average velocity for the time period beginning when t = 2 and lasting, we need to find the change in height and change in time during that period. The height function is given by y = 48t - 16t2. So, when t = 2, the height is y = 48(2) - 16(2^2) = 96 - 64 = 32 feet. We also need to find the height at the end of the time period, but the question doesn't provide that information. Therefore, we cannot calculate the average velocity without knowing the height at the end of the time period.

Answer 2

The problem ask to find the average velocity for the time period given in your problem where as the ball is thrown in the air with a velocity of 48f/s and its height in feet T second later is given by an equation and the best answer among the following is letter A. 0.5 second
