Suppose the position of an accelerating bobsled is given by $s(t) = 5 t^{\displaystyle3/2} $ feet . What is the acceleration of the bobsled when t = 1?
A.
B.
C. $s''(1)=\frac{15}{4}$
D.
The acceleration is given by $s''(t)= \frac32 \frac12 5 t^{\displaystyle-1/2}$ so when t=1the acceleration is $s''(1)=\frac{15}{4}$
