Question
A particle moves in a straight line under a force such that its displacement
s(t), in metres, at time t seconds, is given by s(t) = t3 − 5t2 + 3t +15
(i) Find the expression for the velocity of the particle.
(ii) Find the time at which the particle is at rest.
(iii) Find the acceleration at time t = 5.
