Answer

a) $0.71$ $cm$ b) $1.02$ $cm$ c) there is a bigger effect at higher velocities

Work Step by Step

a) $h'(v)$ = $\frac{2v}{1960}$ = $\frac{v}{980}$ $h'(v)$ = $\frac{Δh}{Δv}$ $\frac{v}{980}$ = $\frac{Δh}{Δv}$ $Δh$ = $\frac{v}{980}Δv$ at $v = 700, Δv =1$ $Δh$ = $\frac{700}{980}(1)$ = $0.71$ $cm$ b) at $v = 1000, Δv =1$ $Δh$ = $\frac{1000}{980}(1)$ = $1.02$ $cm$ c) there is a bigger effect at higher velocities
