An object is thrown upwards with initial velocity meters per second from a point meters above the ground. Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is -9.8 meters per second squared, and let and denote the velocity and position of the object above the ground, respectively, after seconds.

(a) Determine a function that describes the velocity of the object after time .

(b) Determine a function that describes the position of the object after time .

(c) Use (a) and (b) to obtain a formula that relates the velocity of the object with , , and . Your formula should have the form
