Instantaneous Velocity on the Moon Neil Armstrong throws a ball down into a crater on the moon. The height (in feet) of the ball from the bottom of the crater after seconds is given in the following table:
(a) Find the average velocity from to seconds.
(b) Find the average velocity from to seconds.
(c) Find the average velocity from to seconds.
(d) Using a graphing utility, find the quadratic function of best fit.
(e) Using the function found in part (d), determine the instantaneous velocity at second.
