An object moves along a straight line in such a way that its position at time t is given by s (t) = t5/2(0.73t2 3.1t+2.7) for 0 t 2

a. Find the velocity v(t)and the acceleration a(t) and then use a graphing utility to graph s(t), v(t),and a(t)on the same axes for 0 t2.


b. Use your calculator to find a time when v(t) = 0 for 0 t 2. What is the object’s position at this time?


c. When does the smallest value of a(t) occur? Where is the object at this time and what is its velocity?
