The position function of a particle in rectilinear motion is given by s (t) = 2t^3 - 21t^2 + 60t + 3 for t ≥ 0. Find the position and acceleration of the particle at the instant when the particle reverses direction. Include units in your answer.
So I've already gotten the first derivative (6t^2-42t+60) and set it to 0. this resulted in t=5 and t=2. I then took the second derivative (12t-42) and plugged in t for acceleration. Where do I go from here?
