7. A particle moves along a line so that its position any time t ≥ 0 is given by the
function s(t) = t 3 − 6t 2 + 8t + 2 where s is measured in meters and t is measured in
seconds.

a) Find the instantaneous velocity at any time t. [1]

b) Find the acceleration of the particle at any time t. [1]

c) Find the jerk of the particle at any time t. [1]

d) When is the particle at rest? Answer should be correct to 3 decimal places. [2]

e) Fill in the blanks or circle the correct answer. Where appropriate, answer correct
to 3 decimal places. [4]

The particle start at the point s= when t = 0, and moves left / right

until it stops at s = at t = . Then it moves left / right to

the point s = at t = where it stops again, and finally

continues left / right from there on.


8. The graph shows how the # of flies
number of fruit flies grew in a
controlled 50-day experiment.
The graph was made by
counting flies at regular
intervals, plotting a point for
each count, and drawing a
smooth curve through the
plotted points.

a) What unit should be used


on the horizontal and
vertical axes for the
derivative’s graph? [2]
# of days

b) During what days does the population seem to be increasing fastest? State the
reason why you think so.
