Homework Statement
The Attempt at a Solution
As far as I know those are correct. Could I have some assistance on how to solve for the rate of change? I know the formula is f(b)-f(a)/b-a but not sure how to go about it

The rate of change of a ball thrown is the speed at which the ball is traveling through the air. This can be calculated by dividing the change in distance by the change in time.
The rate of change of a ball thrown affects its trajectory by determining the amount of time it takes for the ball to reach its highest point and the distance it travels during that time. A higher rate of change (faster speed) will result in a longer and higher trajectory, while a lower rate of change (slower speed) will result in a shorter and lower trajectory.
Yes, the mass of the ball does affect its rate of change when thrown. A heavier ball will require more force to accelerate, resulting in a slower rate of change compared to a lighter ball.
Air resistance, also known as drag, can slow down the rate of change of a ball thrown by creating a force that acts in the opposite direction of the ball's motion. This force increases as the speed of the ball increases, so it can have a significant impact on the rate of change for faster thrown balls.
Some factors that can affect the rate of change of a ball thrown include the initial force or speed of the throw, the mass and size of the ball, air resistance, and gravity. The angle at which the ball is thrown can also impact the rate of change and trajectory.
