Problem 11
The position of a particle moving on a line is given by \(s(t)-2 t^{3}-21 t^{2}+60 t, t \geq 0\), where \(t\) is measured in seconds and \(s\) in feet. (a) What is the velocity after 3 seconds and after 6 seconds? (b) When is the particle moving in the positive direction? (c) Find the total distance traveled by the particle during the first 7 seconds.
