The position of an object moving along a line can be modeled by the function s(t) = kt - 0.81(1 - t^2)^3 where s (t) is the position of the object after t seconds after the object is thrown and k is a constant. What is the object's velocity as a function of time? A. v(t) = k - 0.81t(1 - t^2)^2 B. v(t) = t - 0.81t(1 - t^2)^2 C. v(t) = k + 4.86t(1 - t^2)^2 D. v(t) = k + 4.86(1 - t^2)^2 E. v(t) = k - 4.86t(1 - t^2)^2
