Question 988565: The displacement (in meters) of a particle moving in a straight line is given by the equation of motion
s = 6/t^2,
where t is measured in seconds. Find the velocity of the particle at times
t = a, t = 1, t = 2, and t = 3

Hi dear,
To find the velocity at t=a,t=1,t=2 and t=3,
you need to deferentiate the fuction given.
HERE IS THE WORKING,:

Hence
Now,
when t=a.
v=-12a/a^4
v=-12/a^3
You can find the remaining value of v when t=1,t=2.using the
HOPE THIS HELPS?
