Problem. In the Fjords of Norway, Preikestolen is a steep cliff often visited by tourists.
Suppose a rock falls off the cliff, on a calm day, and hits the water below. The height (in
feet) of the rock above the water after t seconds is s(t) = −16t2 + 1982, graphed below.

Answer each part; include units wherever relevant.

1. Find s(0) = . Interpret the meaning.

2. The rock hit the water after falling for about 11 seconds. Write the exact amount of
time.

3. Find the average rate of change of s over [0, 1].

4. Sketch the tangent line of s at t = 10. Without the aid of a calculator, sacrifice a
little accuracy by choosing two points that appear close to the line but have nice coordinate
values such as (10,400). Label the points on the line using the appropriate ordered pairs,
and sketch and label ∆t and ∆s between the points.

5. Using part 3, estimate s′ (10) = . Interpret the meaning.


Problem. Let V (t) be the volume of water (in gallons) in a bathtub after t minutes.

2. Calculate the average rate of change of V over [0, 5].

3. Interpret V ′ (5) = −2.

4. Find an equation of the tangent line of V at t = 5.
