Position of Particle Equation
Not what you're looking for?
The position of a particle which moves along a straight line is defined by: x=t^3-6t^2-15t+40, where x is in feet and t is in seconds. Determine the time at which the velocity will be zero, the position and distance traveled at that time, and the acceleration of the particle at that time.

Velocity is defined as dx/dt (rate of change of displacement).
thus V = dx/dt = 3 t^2 - 6*2 t - 15.
When V=0,we get a quadratic equation 3 t^2 - 6*2 t - 15 = 0 ...
