Please explain part (d) and (e)

Dear Student,
Answer to your question is given below:
Given, x(t) = t33 - 5t22 +6t + 4Now, we know that, velocity, v(t) = dx(t)dt = 3t23 - 5×2t2 + 6 = t2 - 5t+ 6Now, acceleration, a(t) = dv(t)dt =  2t - 5Now at the time the particle changes its direction, a(t)=0Hence, 2t - 5=0 t = 52 seconds  t = 2.5 seconds (d) Time at which particle changes its direction is 2.5 seconds.
For the remaining questions, please post them in different threads.
Regards,
