Question
![**Problem to Solve:**
At time \( t \), the position of a body moving along the s-axis is given by the equation:
\[ s = t^3 - 21t^2 + 120t \, \text{m} \]
Find the body's acceleration each time the velocity is zero.
**Options:**
- a(10) = 0 m/sec\(^2\), a(4) = 0 m/sec\(^2\)
- a(10) = 18 m/sec\(^2\), a(4) = -18 m/sec\(^2\)
- a(20) = 120 m/sec\(^2\), a(8) = 20 m/sec\(^2\)
- a(10) = -18 m/sec\(^2\), a(4) = 18 m/sec\(^2\)
(Note: This problem involves finding where the velocity, derived from the position function \( s(t) \), is zero, and then calculating the acceleration at those points.)](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F2fab4e6d-dfba-4263-8692-88b0f2add278%2F876d9eb3-332d-4a69-a7f8-9cc65615c0bf%2F3lpl91_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
