    Particle Velocity
Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the equation for particle velocity, specifically addressing the concept of instantaneous rest, where the particle's velocity is zero. Participants clarify that at t=0 and t=2, the velocity v(t) equals zero, indicating moments of rest. The acceleration, derived from the velocity function, is confirmed to be -6 m/s² at t=2. There is also a technical issue mentioned regarding image uploads on a Samsung tablet. Overall, the conversation highlights the relationship between velocity and acceleration in the context of particle motion.

$\int v(t) dt = 3{t}^{2}-{t}^{2}+C$
What does is next at instaneous rest mean?
Wouldn't that be zero?

What have you tried so far?
 
See OP
I have to use a cell phone to upload an image. The upload button does not appear on a Samsung tablet. Not to mention all page clipping on the image manager. 😥

The answers were
(a) $-6 \ m \ {s}^{-2}$
(b) 4 m

Instantaneous rest means that there is a point in time where the particle is not moving - so has a zero velocity.
 
$v\left(t\right)=0$ at t=0 and t=2
$a\left(2\right)=4$
It should be -6?
 
Acceleration is the derivative of velocity, not the antiderivative.
 
Got it, yeah that worked
