Question
Here is the question for a Calc 1 online class:
The position function s(t) = -4.9t^2 + 300 gives the height (ft) of an object falling from 300 feet. The velocity function is given as a limit as x approaches 0 v(t)=s(t+Δt) -s(t)/Δt.
1. Determine the velocity of an object as a function of time by evaluting the limit.
2. Determine the velocity of the object right before the object makes contact with the ground
