1. According to the law of motion, the move of a particle is explained by s = f(t) where s represents the position of the particle and t represents the time. Consider the following equation f(t) = t^3 − 12t^2 + 36t where t is measured in seconds and s is measured in feet. a. When is the particle at rest? b. Find the displacement of the particle during the time period, 1 ≤ ? ≤ 4. Give an interpretation to the answer obtained. c. Find the total distance travelled during the first 8 seconds.
