The equation of motion of a particle is s(t) = e^t - t^3, where s is measured in meters and t is in seconds. Assume t is greater than or equal to 0. Find the velocity and acceleration as functions of t. V(t) = ? A(t) = ?

The acceleration function (in m/s^2) and the initial velocity v(0) are given for a particle moving along a line. a(t) = 2t + 2, v(0) = -3, 0 <= t <= 3. (a) Find the velocity at time t.
