Answer:

60ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rate

rate = f(3) - f(0)

         -------------

         3-0

rate = 200-380

         ---------------

         3-0

rate = -180/3   = -60 ft/s

The negative tells us it is falling

The fall falls 60ft/s

Answer:

The correct answer is 60 feet / second.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the height of a ball which is falling from a height of 280 feet for 3 seconds.

We are to find the ball's rate of fall during the first 3 seconds.

For that, we will take the difference between the heights and divide it by the time.

Ball's rate = [tex] \frac { 3 8 0 - 2 0 0 } { 3 } [/tex] = 60 feet / second
