The acceleration of a particle as it moves along a straight line is given by a = (21 – 1) m/s², where t is in seconds. If s = 1 m and v = 2 m/s when t = 0, determine the particle's velocity and position when t= 6 s. Also, determine the total distance the particle travels during this time period. %3D

Question
The acceleration of a particle as it moves along a
straight line is given by a = (2t – 1) m/s², where t is in
seconds. If s = 1 m and v = 2 m/s when t = 0, determine
the particle's velocity and position when t= 6 s. Also,
determine the total distance the particle travels during this
time period.
