Question:

The position of a particle is given by the equation

s = f(t) = t - 6t +9twhere is measured in seconds and in meters.

(a) Find the velocity at time t.

(b) What is the velocity after 2 s? After 4 s?

(c) When is the particle at rest?

(d) When is the particle moving forward (that is, in the positive direction)?

(e) Draw a diagram to represent the motion of the particle.

(f) Find the total distance traveled by the particle during the first five seconds.

(g) Find the acceleration at time t and after 4 s. 

(h) Graph the position, velocity, and acceleration functions for 0 ≤ t ≤ 5. 

(i) When is the particle speeding up? When is it slowing down?
