absor201

The basketball fell at rate of 9.8 feet per second

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate is the distance per unit time

Here

Given

Distance = height = h = 53.9 feet

time = t = 5.5 sec

The rate will be given as:

[tex]Rate = \frac{Height}{time} = \frac{h}{t}\\= \frac{53.9}{5.5}\\= 1.78\\[/tex]

Hence,

The basketball fell at rate of 9.8 feet per second
