The position of a particle moving in a straight line is described by x(t)=2t3−9t2+12t+5x(t)=2t^{3}-9t^{2}+12t+5 where xx is in metres and tt in seconds. a. (a) Obtain expressions for its instantaneous velocity and instantaneous acceleration. b. (b) Calculate the numerical values of velocity and acceleration at t=2 st=2\text{ s}. c. (c) Find the time(s) within 0 s≤t≤4 s0\text{ s}\le t\le4\text{ s} when the particle is momentarily at rest.
