Question

Can someone please help me with the last one 

Suppose that the equation of motion for a particle (where \( s \) is in meters and \( t \) in seconds) is 

\[ s = \frac{1}{3}t^3 - 7t^2 + 49t + 7 \]

(a) Find the velocity and acceleration as functions of \( t \).

- Velocity at time \( t = t^2 - 14t + 49 \)

- Acceleration at time \( t = 2t - 14 \)

(b) Find the acceleration after 1 second.

- Acceleration after 1 second: \(-12\)

(c) Find the acceleration at the instant when the velocity is 0.

- Acceleration: \(-14\)
