A particle moves along a straight line such that its displacement s at any time t is given by s = t³ - 6t² + 3t + 4. Find the velocity when the acceleration is zero.

- A. -9
- B. -12
- C. 3
- D. 0
Answer: A) -9
Explanation: Velocity v = ds/dt = 3t² - 12t + 3. Acceleration a = dv/dt = 6t - 12. If a = 0, t = 2. At t = 2, v = 3(2)² - 12(2) + 3 = 12 - 24 + 3 = -9.
