(Use decimal notation.) distance: meters (b) Compute the average velocity over the time interval [3, 3.5]. (Use decimal notation.) average velocity: m/sec (c) By computing the average velocity over the time intervals [3, 3.1], [3,3.01], and [3, 3.001], estimate the ball's instantaneous velocity at t = 3. (Round your answer to one decimal place.) instantaneous velocity: m/sec

A runner with a good awareness of her pace runs along a path of unknown length at a speed of 0.275 mi/min and then walks back to her starting point at a speed of 0.0500 mi/min. She neglects to note her time for each part of her path, but does measure the total round trip time to be 60.0 min. How far did she run? Do not include the walking distance
