Question
An object moves in a straight line with its position at time $t$ seconds given by $s(t)=-t^{2}+8 t,$ where $s$ is measured in metres. Find the velocity when $t=0, t=4,$ and $t=6$

Starting at $t=0,$ a particle moves along a line so that its position after $t$ seconds is $s(t)=t^{2}-6 t+8,$ where $s$ is in metres. a. What is its velocity at time $t ?$ b. When is its velocity zero?

The displacement (in meters) of a particle moving in a straight line is given by the equation of motion s = (8)/(t^2) where t is measured in seconds. Find the velocity (in m/s) of the particle at times t = a, t = 1, t = 2, and t = 3. t = a
The position $s$ of a particle along a straight line is given by $s=8 e^{-0.4 t}-6 t+t^{2},$ where $s$ is in meters and $t$ is the time in seconds. Determine the velocity $v$ when the acceleration is $3 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$
