The answer in part (a) was somewhat lower but not a significant amount. In my opinion the line is still viable to approximate altitudes.
d)The ozone layer is between 10km and 50km above sea level. Assuming the velocity continues at the pattern in part (b), find the velocity when the shuttle enters and exits the ozone layer. SHOW ALL WORK. Note: there are about 1.61km in a mile.
Evaluation
This projects intent was to insure our overall understanding of area under curve as well as well as different ways to approximate it without knowing calculus. This portfolio is meant also to be used as a precursor to calculus but instead of finding the integral we approximated it using trapezoids and next by graphing a median-median line giving us two fairly good approximations of area.
