Question
Suppose that the height of a particle is given by \( s(t) = t^3 - 17t + 41, \, t \geq 0 \), where \( t \) is measured in seconds and the height is measured in meters.

(a) Find the velocity at time \( t \).

\[ v(t) = \underline{\phantom{m/s}} \ m/s \]

(b) Find the velocity at time \( t = 3 \) seconds.

\[ v = \underline{\phantom{m/s}} \ m/s \]

(c) When is the particle at rest?

\[ t = \underline{\phantom{\text{seconds}}} \ \text{seconds} \]

(d) When is the particle moving in a downward direction?

\[ \underline{\phantom{\text{seconds}}} \ \text{seconds} \]

(e) Find the total distance traveled by the particle during the first 7 seconds of travel.

(Round your answer to the nearest hundredths place.)

\[ \underline{\phantom{\text{meters}}} \ \text{meters} \]

(f) Find the acceleration at time \( t \).

\[ a(t) = \underline{\phantom{m/s^2}} \ \frac{m}{s^2} \]

(g) Find the acceleration at time \( t = 7 \) seconds.

\[ a = \underline{\phantom{m/s^2}} \ \frac{m}{s^2} \]
