I wanted to make sure I did this problem correctly. The problem is:
A particle moves along a straight line and its position at time t is given by s(t)=2t^3 - 21t^2 + 60t where s is measured in feet and t in seconds.
Find the velocity of the particle when t=0.
I took the derivative of s(t) and got 6t^2 - 42t + 60, and then substituted 0 in for t. I got 60ft/sec for the answer. Is this correct??
