Question

A sled accelerates down a hill and then slows down after it reaches a flat portion of ground. The speed of the sled s(t) in ft/sec) at a time t (in sec) after movement begins can be approximated by:

             2t      for 0<t<30

s(t)=    60      for 30<t<90

          t-29

Determine the speed of the sled after 10 sec, 30 sec, 60 sec, and 90 sec. Round to 1decimal place if necessary.

The speed of the sled is blank /ftsec after 10 sec.
