Two particles have positions at a time t given by the equations x1 = t^3 - t and x2 = 6t^2 - t^3. Find the velocities when they have the same acceleration.

At time t sec, the positions of two particles on a coordinate line are s1 = 3t3 - 12t2 + 18t + 5 m and s2 = -t3 + 9t2 - 12t m. When do the particles have the same velocities?

The motion of a particle is described by the position function s(t) = 2t^3 - 15t^2 + 36t + 2 for 0 ≤ t ≤ 5 where s is in metres and t is the time in seconds. Find the acceleration when the particle is at rest. [3 marks]
