A particle moves along a horizontal line. Its position function is s(t) for t 0. For each problem, find the
velocity function v(t) and the acceleration function a(t). You may use the blank graphs to sketch s(t),
v(t), and a(t).

A particle moves along a horizontal line. Its position function is s(t) for t 0. For each problem, find the
velocity function v(t), the acceleration function a(t), the times t when the particle changes directions, the
intervals of time when the particle is moving left and moving right, the times t when the acceleration is 0,
and the intervals of time when the particle is slowing down and speeding up. You may use the blank
graphs to sketch s(t), v(t), and a(t).
