A particle moves according to a law of motion
s = f(t), t ≥ 0,
where t is measured in seconds and s in feet.
f(t) = t3 − 15t2 + 72t
(a) Find the velocity at time t.
v(t) =
(b) What is the velocity after 5 s?
v(5) =
(c) When is the particle at rest?
t = s (smaller value) |
t = s (larger value) |
When is the particle moving in the positive direction? (Enter your answer in interval notation.)
