Answer:

90 feet per second.

Explanation:

If it moves 540 feet in 6 seconds, than it moves 540/6=90feet per second.

Not sure what the height requirement has to do with this problem or what 'unit rate' is specifically referring to so this may not be the answer you're looking for but I hope this helped anyway!
