A particle moves along the x-axis such that its position x(t) = t³ − 6t² + 9t + 5. The time when the particle is momentarily at rest is:
A particle moves along the x-axis such that its position x(t) = t³ − 6t² + 9t + 5. The time when the particle is momentarily at rest is:
- A. t = 1 and t = 3
- B. t = 2 and t = 4
- C. t = 1 and t = 2
- D. t = 3 and t = 5
Answer: A) t = 1 and t = 3
Explanation: Velocity v = dx/dt = 3t² − 12t + 9 = 3(t² − 4t + 3) = 3(t − 1)(t − 3). v = 0 at t = 1 and t = 3.
