A water balloon dropped from the roof of a small building falls y 4.9t m in t sec. Suppose you wanted to know the speed of the water balloon at eactly t = seconds. Originally, we used values of t really close to and found the average rate of change between them. Let s try something a little different a) Instead of using a numeric value close to, what would be the average speed of the balloon between t = and t = + h? (Simplify the epression as much as you can) b) To find the speed of the balloon at t =, it is tempting to simply plug in h = 0, however, this yields 0, which is 0 an indeterminate form. We CAN however, evaluate your simplified epression from part a using it as h 0. Evaluate this it. c) Now find and compare the speed of the balloon at t = like you did earlier in question #4.
