Q15) Given a particle moving in one dimension with position function x(t) = 5t
3
– 8t
2 + 20:
a) Determine the velocity v as a function of time t. b) Determine the acceleration a as a function of time t.
c) At what time(s) will the particle come to a momentary stop? d) At what time (s) will the particle's
acceleration be zero?

X (t) = 5t³ - 8t² + 20

a) V (t) = dx / dt 

= 15t² - 16t

b) a (t) = d²x / dt²

= 30t - 16

c.) When v = 0

0 = 15t² -16t

16t = 15t²

t = 16/15 = 1.0667

d ) when a = 0

30t - 16 = 0

30t = 16 

t = 0.533
