If a ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 55 ft/s, it's height in feet after t second is given by y=55t-16t^2. Find the average velocity for the time period beginning when t=1 and lasting i) 0.5 seconds ii) 0.1 seconds iii) 0.01 seconds iv) Finally, based on the above results, guess what the instantaneous velocity of the ball is when t=1
