5. Numerical Differentiation and Romberg Integration - (15 Marks) Given:

The velocity v(t)v(t) of an object at various times tt is: t=[0,10,20,30,40],v=[1.00,2.05,4.95,10.00,16.90]

t=[0,10,20,30,40],v=[1.00,2.05,4.95,10.00,16.90] (a) Estimate Acceleration at t=20t=20 s Using Numerical
Differentiation

Objective: Use high-order numerical differentiation to approximate the derivative a(20)=v′(20)a(20)=v′(20

Method: We’ll apply a central difference formula for the highest possible accuracy using data points arou

The central difference formula for the second-order accurate derivative is:
v′(t)≈v(t+h)−v(t−h)2h
v′(t)≈2hv(t+h)−v(t−h)

where h=10h=10 s (the time interval between data points).

Calculation:
a(20)≈v(30)−v(10)2×10=10.00−2.0520=7.9520=0.3975 m/s2
a(20)≈2×10v(30)−v(10)=2010.00−2.05=207.95=0.3975m/s2

h1=40h1=40 (single interval from t=0t=0 to t=40t=40):

T(h1)=h12(v(0)+v(40))=402(1.00+16.90)=20×17.90=358.0
T(h1)=2h1(v(0)+v(40))=240(1.00+16.90)=20×17.90=358.0

h2=20h2=20 (two intervals from t=0,20,40t=0,20,40):

T(h2)=h22[v(0)+2v(20)+v(40)]=10×(1.00+2×4.95+16.90)=10×27.80=278.0
T(h2)=2h2[v(0)+2v(20)+v(40)]=10×(1.00+2×4.95+16.90)=10×27.80=278.0

h3=10h3=10 (four intervals from t=0,10,20,30,40t=0,10,20,30,40):

T(h3)=h32[v(0)+2v(10)+2v(20)+2v(30)+v(40)]
T(h3)=2h3[v(0)+2v(10)+2v(20)+2v(30)+v(40)]
=5×(1.00+2×2.05+2×4.95+2×10.00+16.90)
=5×(1.00+2×2.05+2×4.95+2×10.00+16.90)
=5×(1.00+4.10+9.90+20.00+16.90)=5×51.90=259.5
=5×(1.00+4.10+9.90+20.00+16.90)=5×51.90=259.5

Step 2: Romberg Extrapolation

Using Romberg’s formula, we refine the estimates:

R2,1=43T(h2)−13T(h1)=43×278.0−13×358.0
R2,1=34T(h2)−31T(h1)=34×278.0−31×358.0
=1112−3583=7543=251.33
=31112−358=3754=251.33
R3,2=43T(h3)−13T(h2)=43×259.5−13×278.0
R3,2=34T(h3)−31T(h2)=34×259.5−31×278.0
=1038−2783=7603=253.33
=31038−278=3760=253.33

Therefore, the approximate distance traveled over 40 s is about 253.33 meters.
