After 3.5 seconds since the tracker was released into the river the tracker had traveled 5.5 meters.
After 10.9 seconds since the tracker was released into the river the tracker had traveled 16.5 meters.

Answer:

1.486m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change is defined as the change in distance divided by the change in time

Rate = ∆distance/∆time

Distance = 16.5 and 5.5

Time = 10.9 and 3.5

When we put this into the formula above, we have:

Rate of change = 16.5 - 5.5 / 10.9 - 3.5

= 11/7.4

= 1.486m/s

The constant rate of change has been calculated to be equal to 1.486m/s
