Problem

A particle moves along a line so that its position at time tt seconds is s(t)=t3−6t2+9ts(t)=t^{3}-6t^{2}+9t metres. (i) Obtain the velocity function v(t)v(t). (ii) Find the time(s) when the particle is momentarily at rest. (iii) State the direction of motion immediately after t=2 st=2\,\text{s} based on the sign of v(t)v(t).
