Exercise 6

Avg difficulty 2.5

Suppose that an object is tossed into the air in such a way that the elevation of the object (measured in ft) tt seconds after the object was tossed is given by the function s(t)=150+60t−16t2\fe{s}{t}=150+60t-16t^2.

Find the acceleration function for this motion and use that function to determine the acceleration of the object 4.1 s into its motion.
