The motion of a particle is described by the position function s(t) = 2t³ - 15t² + 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.

the position function of a particle is given by s(t)=2t^3+4t-t, where time, t, is in seconds and distance, s, is in meters. find the velocity and acceleration after 4 s

The acceleration of a particle is defined by the relation $a=3 e^{-0.2 t},$ where $a$ and $t$ are expressed in $\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ and seconds, respectively. Knowing that $x=0$ and $v=0$ at $t=0,$ determine the velocity and position of the particle when $t=0.5 \mathrm{s}$.
