Suppose a ball is dropped from a height of 200 ft. Find the average rate of change of the ball rounded to nearest whole number. Hint: answer is negative. From a previous question I found the ball will take 3.5 seconds to hit the ground.

If a ball is dropped from a height of 3136 feet, then its height in feet above the ground is given by h(t) = -16t^2 + 3136, where t is in seconds. Find the average rate of change of the height of the ball as t varies from 8 to 11 seconds.

The function f (t) = -16t^2 + 20t + 4 gives the height of a ball, in feet, t seconds after it is tossed. What is the average rate of change, in feet per second, over the interval [0.75, 1.25]?

A soccer ball is kicked into the air such that its height, h, in metres after t seconds can be modelled by the function. h(t) = -4.9t² + 12t + 0.5 a) Determine the average rate of change of the ball between 0.5 seconds and 1 second (3 marks). b) What does the average rate of change mean in this context? (1 mark) c) Determine the instantaneous rate of change of the ball at 1 second (3 marks).
