A particle moves along a coordinate axis, with the positive direction to the right. Its position at time t is given by s(t)=t3t+1\displaystyle {s}{\left({t}\right)}={t}^{{3}}-{t}+{1}. Find v(1)\displaystyle {v}{\left({1}\right)} and a(1)\displaystyle {a}{\left({1}\right)} and use these values to answer the following questions.

  1. What is v(1)\displaystyle {v}{\left({1}\right)}?
    v(1)=\displaystyle {v}{\left({1}\right)}=
  2. Is the particle moving from left to right or from right to left or neither at time t=1\displaystyle {t}={1}?

  3. What is a(1)\displaystyle {a}{\left({1}\right)}?
    a(1)=\displaystyle {a}{\left({1}\right)}=
  4. Is the particle speeding up or slowing down or neither at time t=1\displaystyle {t}={1}?
