I don't have the functions or the positions at t = 3 s and t = 7 s, so I can't pick one of the choices yet.
How to determine the correct choice:
- For each ball, compute average rate of change = (position at 7 s − position at 3 s) / (7 − 3) = (position at 7 − position at 3) / 4. Units will be meters per second.
- Compare the two averaged values. The larger one indicates which ball has the greater average rate of change, and the numeric value will tell you which option (2.25, 9, 4.5, or 18 m/s) matches.
Send the positions (or the graph or the functions) at t = 3 s and t = 7 s for each ball and I will compute and pick the correct answer.
