    (2t + 1) (t-1) = 0
    t = -1/2 or t = 1 (t = -1/2 not applicable)
  2. Its displacement by the time it comes to rest momentarily (2 marks)
    S = -2t³ + 3/2 t² + 3t
    When t =m 1, s = -2(1)³ + 3/2 (1)² + 3 (1)
    2.5M
3. Calculate the maximum velocity attained (2 marks)
  When velocity is maxium, a = 0
  -12t + 3 = 0
  t = 1/4
  Max v = -6 (1/4)² + 3(1/4) + 3 = 3.375 m/s
