3.3 Another Initial Value Problem: A Falling Body

Checkpoint 1

  1. According to Table 1, when an object has fallen `200` meters, it has been falling between `6.0` and `6.5` seconds. Estimate its speed when it passes the `200`-meter mark.

  2. Locate the points in Figure 1 that correspond to `6.0` and `6.5` seconds. Check that the velocity in part (a) is consistent with the plot of approximate velocities.
