A ball's position, in meters, as it travels every second is represented by the position function s(t) = 4.9t2+ 550.
What is the velocity of the ball after 3 seconds?
==============
s(t) = 4.9t2+ 550
Use ^ (Shift 6) for exponents.
---
s(t) = 4.9t^2+ 550
Velocity is the 1st derivative of displacement.
s'(t) = 9.8t
s'(3) = 29.4 m/sec
