To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the motion of the particle described by the equation \( x = t(t-1)(t-2) \). ### Step 1: Find the initial velocity of the particle. The velocity \( v \) is the first derivative of the displacement \( x \) with respect to time \( t \). 1. **Differentiate \( x \)**: \[ x = t(t-1)(t-2) = t(t^2 - 3t + 2) = t^3 - 3t^2 + 2t ...
