Answer

$v(3)=27$ meters per second $a(3)=-6$ $m/s^2$ When velocity is positive and acceleration is negative, the object is moving forward, but it is slowing down.

Work Step by Step

Velocity $v(t)=36-t^2$ $v(3)=36-(3)^2$ $v(3)=36-9$ $v(3)=27$ meters per second Acceleration $\frac{d}{dt}(v(t))=a(t)$ $\frac{d}{dt}(v(t))=\frac{d}{dt}(36-t^2)$ $a(t)=-2t$ $a(3)=-2(3)$ $a(3)=-6$ $m/s^2$ When velocity is positive and acceleration is negative, the object is moving forward, but it is slowing down.
