Solution

The correct option is C tv=22/3, ta=2
s=14t42t3+4t27
v=dsdt=t36t2+8t
dvdt=3t212t+8
For v to be maximum or minimum,
dvdt=0
3t212t+8=0
t=12±486
t=2±23
Now, d2vdt2=6t12
At t=223, d2Vdt2<0
Hence, v is maximum at t=223
Now, acceleration a=dv/dt=3t212t+8
dadt=6t12
For acceleration to maximum or minimum,
dadt=0
t=2
Now, d2adt2=6>0
Hence, acceleration is minimum at t=2
