Question

A particle moves according to a law of motion 

s = f(t), t ≥ 0,

 where t is measured in seconds and s in feet.

f(t) = t3 − 15t2 + 72t
(a) Find the velocity at time t.
v(t) =
 
 


(b) What is the velocity after 5 s?
v(5) = ft/s


(c) When is the particle at rest?
t = s (smaller value)
t = s (larger value)

(d) When is the particle moving in the positive direction? (Enter your answer in interval notation.)
t
 
 


(e) Find the total distance traveled during the first 8 s.
ft

(f) Find the acceleration at time t.
a(t) =
 
 


Find the acceleration after 5 s.
a(5) = ft/s2


(g) Graph the position, velocity, and acceleration functions for the first 8 s.
   
   

(h) When, for
0 ≤ t < ∞,
is the particle speeding up? (Enter your answer in interval notation.)
 
 


When, for
0 ≤ t < ∞,
is it slowing down? (Enter your answer in interval notation.)
