To solve this problem, we first need to find the expressions for velocity and acceleration by differentiating the displacement function.

Given displacement function: S(t)=t42t25t3S(t) = t^4 - 2t^2 - 5t^3 We can reorder it for clarity: S(t)=t45t32t2S(t) = t^4 - 5t^3 - 2t^2

Velocity is the first derivative of displacement with respect to time: V(t)=dSdt=ddt(t45t32t2)=4t315t24tV(t) = \frac{dS}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(t^4 - 5t^3 - 2t^2) = 4t^3 - 15t^2 - 4t

Acceleration is the first derivative of velocity with respect to time (or the second derivative of displacement): A(t)=dVdt=ddt(4t315t24t)=12t230t4A(t) = \frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(4t^3 - 15t^2 - 4t) = 12t^2 - 30t - 4

Now we can solve each part of the question.

A) Determine when t=3t=3:

Step 1: Calculate displacement at t=3t=3. Substitute t=3t=3 into the displacement function S(t)S(t). S(3)=(3)45(3)32(3)2S(3) = (3)^4 - 5(3)^3 - 2(3)^2 S(3)=815(27)2(9)S(3) = 81 - 5(27) - 2(9) S(3)=8113518S(3) = 81 - 135 - 18 S(3)=72 mS(3) = -72 \text{ m} The displacement at t=3t=3 is 72m\boxed{-72 m}.

Step 2: Calculate velocity at t=3t=3. Substitute t=3t=3 into the velocity function V(t)V(t). V(3)=4(3)315(3)24(3)V(3) = 4(3)^3 - 15(3)^2 - 4(3) V(3)=4(27)15(9)12V(3) = 4(27) - 15(9) - 12 V(3)=10813512V(3) = 108 - 135 - 12 V(3)=39 m/sV(3) = -39 \text{ m/s} The velocity at t=3t=3 is 39m/s\boxed{-39 m/s}.

Step 3: Calculate acceleration at t=3t=3. Substitute t=3t=3 into the acceleration function A(t)A(t). A(3)=12(3)230(3)4A(3) = 12(3)^2 - 30(3) - 4 A(3)=12(9)904A(3) = 12(9) - 90 - 4 A(3)=108904A(3) = 108 - 90 - 4 A(3)=14m/s2A(3) = 14 m/s^2 The acceleration at t=3t=3 is 14m/s2\boxed{14 m/s^2}.

B) Time when velocity is 0:

Step 4: Set the velocity function V(t)V(t) to 0 and solve for tt. V(t)=4t315t24t=0V(t) = 4t^3 - 15t^2 - 4t = 0 Factor out tt: t(4t215t4)=0t(4t^2 - 15t - 4) = 0 This gives two possibilities: t=0t=0 or 4t215t4=04t^2 - 15t - 4 = 0. Solve the quadratic equation 4t215t4=04t^2 - 15t - 4 = 0. We can factor it: (4t+1)(t4)=0(4t+1)(t-4) = 0 This yields two more solutions: 4t+1=0t=14 s4t+1 = 0 \Rightarrow t = -\frac{1}{4} \text{ s} t4=0t=4 st-4 = 0 \Rightarrow t = 4 \text{ s} Since time cannot be negative in this physical context, the times when velocity is 0 are t=0t=0 s and t=4t=4 s. The times when velocity is 0 are 0sand4s\boxed{0 s and 4 s}.

C) Acceleration at t=2t=2:

Step 5: Calculate acceleration at t=2t=2. Substitute t=2t=2 into the acceleration function A(t)A(t). A(2)=12(2)230(2)4A(2) = 12(2)^2 - 30(2) - 4 A(2)=12(4)604A(2) = 12(4) - 60 - 4 A(2)=48604A(2) = 48 - 60 - 4 A(2)=16m/s2A(2) = -16 m/s^2 The acceleration at t=2t=2 is 16m/s2\boxed{-16 m/s^2}.
