Problem

The acceleration of a body moving along a straight line is given by a=6t−4a=6t-4 SI units, where tt is the time in seconds. At t=0t=0, its velocity is 3 m s−13\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} and its position is the origin. (i) Obtain the expression for velocity v(t)v(t) as a function of time. (ii) Hence find the displacement x(t)x(t) measured from the origin. (iii) Determine the instant at which the body comes momentarily to rest again.
