A ball is thrown into the air by a baby alien on a planet in the system of Alpha Centauri with a velocity of $26$ ft/s. Its height in feet after $t$ seconds is given by $y=26t-22t^{2}$.

a.) Find the average velocity for the time period beginning when $t_{0}=1$ second and lasting for the given time.

$t=.01$ sec:
$t=.005$ sec:
$t=.002$ sec :
$t=.001$ sec:

b.) Estimate the instanteneous velocity when $t=1$.
