The problem:

Here is the definition of rate of change of one quantity with respect to another:

The average rate of change of A with respect to B on an interval is

average rate of change of A with respect to B = (change in A) / (change in B)

Apply the above definition of average rate of change of A with respect to B to each of the following. Be sure to identify the quantity A, the quantity B and the requested average rate.

If the position of a ball rolling along a track changes from 10 cm to 20 cm while the clock time changes from 4 seconds to 9 seconds, what is the average rate of change of its position with respect to clock time during this interval?

answer/question/discussion:

Quantity A = 20cm - 10cm = 10cm

Quantity B = 9sec - 4 sec = 5sec

So the average rate of change of A with respect to B = 10cm/5sec = 2cm/sec.

If the velocity of a ball rolling along a track changes from 10 cm / second to 40 cm / second during an interval during which the clock time changes by 3 seconds, then what is the average rate of change of its velocity with respect to clock time during this interval?

answer/question/discussion:

Quantity A = 40cm/sec - 10cm/sec = 30cm/sec

Quantity B = 3sec

Average rate of change = (30cm/sec)/3sec = 10cm/sec^2

If the average rate at which position changes with respect to clock time is 5 cm / second, and if the clock time changes by 10 seconds, by how much does the position change?

answer/question/discussion:

Quantity A = X

Quantity B = 10sec

Average rate of change in position with respect to clock time = 5cm/sec

So 5cm/sec = x/10sec

50cm = X = Quantity A, so the position changes by 50cm.
