A rocket is 1 mile above the earth in 30 seconds and 5 miles above the earth in 2.5 minutes. What is the rockets rate of change in miles per second? What about miles per minute?
Answer provided by our tutors
the rockets rate of change in miles per second is:
(5 - 1)/(2.5*60 - 30) = 1/30 miler per second or 0.033
the rockets rate of change in miles per minute is:
(5 - 1)/(2.5 - 30/60) = 2 miles per minute
