Answer:

2.6 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a soccer ball kicked into the air reaches 15 feet in 3 second. The first rate or speed will be:

Rate 1 = 15/3 = 5 feet/s

and falls to 3 feet after 5 seconds. Also, the second rate or second speed will be:

Rate 2 = ( 15 - 3 ) / 5

Rate 2 = 12 / 5

Rate 2 = 2.4 ft/ s

What is the rate of change between the 3rd second and the 5th second? That is, the change in speed. Which can be expressed as:

The rate of change = 5 - 2.4

The rate of change = 2.6 ft/s
