[3,4] [3, 3.5] [3, 3.1] ft/sec ft/sec ft/sec (b) What is the instantaneous velocity at time t = 3? ft/sec (c) What is the instantaneous velocity at time t = 7? ft/sec Is the ball rising or falling at this time? O rising falling (d) When will the ball hit the ground? t = sec Need Help? Read It Watch Itarrow_forward
