A ball is dropped from a state of rest at time t=0t=0. The distance traveled after t seconds is s(t)=16t^2s(t)=16t^2 ft. How far does the ball travel during the time interval [0,0.5][0,0.5] ? Compute the average velocity over [0,0.5][0,0.5] . Compute the average velocity over time intervals [0, 0.01] , [0, 0.001] , [0, 0.0001] , [-0.0001, 0] , [-0.001, 0] , [-0.01, 0] . Use this to estimate the object's instantaneous velocity at t=0t=0

Question

A ball is dropped from a state of rest at time t=0t=0.
The distance traveled after t seconds is s(t)=16t^2s(t)=16t^2 ft.

How far does the ball travel during the time interval [0,0.5][0,0.5] ?

Compute the average velocity over [0,0.5][0,0.5] .

Compute the average velocity over time intervals [0, 0.01] , [0, 0.001] , [0, 0.0001] , [-0.0001, 0] , [-0.001, 0] , [-0.01, 0] .
Use this to estimate the object's instantaneous velocity at t=0t=0 .
