I tried this:

I would try deriving your expression to find the velocity and again to find the acceleration.

So we get:

#(ds)/(dt)=v(t)=180+100t#...........................................(1)

Initial velocity at #t=0#

#v(0)=180m/s#

At #t=4#:

#v(4)=180+400=580m/s#

For the acceleration (derive (1)):

#(d(t))/(dt)=a(t)=100m/s^2#
