Chapter 1.1, Problem 2dT
D. Review your earlier interpretation of the speed for your small tape segment. (See section I.)
Is that interpretation valid for the entire motion that generated the tape?
Based on the speed for your piece of tape, could you successfully predict how far the object would move in:
How can you modify the interpretation of the speed so that it applies even to motion with varying speed?
What name is given to a speed that is interpreted in this way?
