A model rocket’s height above the ground is s(t)=50t2s(t)=50t^{2} metres, where tt is the elapsed time in minutes. Determine its instantaneous acceleration at t=2t=2 minutes, giving the answer in m/s2\mathrm{m/s^{2}}. (Use 1 minute = 60 seconds.) a) 1.67 m/s21.67\,\mathrm{m/s^{2}} b) 0.0556 m/s20.0556\,\mathrm{m/s^{2}} c) 0.028 m/s20.028\,\mathrm{m/s^{2}} d) 0.00028 m/s20.00028\,\mathrm{m/s^{2}}
