When we estimate distances from velocity data, it is sometimes necessary to use times that are not equally spaced. Wecan still estimate distances using the time periods For example, a space shuttle was launched on a mission, the purposeof which was to install a new motor in a satellite. The table provided gives the velocity data for the shuttle between liftoff and thejettisoning of the solid rocket boosters. Use these data to estimate the height, h, above Earth's surface of the space shuttle, 62 secondsafter liftoff. (Give the upper approximation available from the data.)h = 51782 ft
