3. An object falls according to the formula s(t) = -4.9t^2 + 48t + 100, where s(t) is the position of the object in meters above the ground, and t is time measured in seconds. Find the instantaneous velocity, v(t) of the object when t = 2. Label units.

The velocity of an object as a function of time is given by v(t) = 2.0 m/s + (3.00 m/s)t - (1.0 m/s^2)t^2. Determine the instantaneous acceleration of the object at time t = 3.00 s.

Use the position function s(t) = -4.9t^2 + 200, which gives the height (in meters) of an object that has fallen for t seconds from a height of 200 meters. The velocity at time t = a seconds is given by the following. At what velocity will the object impact the ground? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) m/s
