"When it stops" means "When its velocity is zero"
x(t)= -2.68t² + 2.52t + 3.91
velocity = dx/dt = -5.36t + 2.52
When dx/dt = 0
-5.36t + 2.52 = 0
t = 2.52/5.36 = 0.470 s
So what is x(t) when t = 0.470 ? Plug that value for t back into
the original expression:
x(t)= -2.68 * 0.470² + 2.52 * 0.470 + 3.91
x = -0.5920 + 2.99 + 3.91
x = 6.308 meters

A particle moves in two dimensions. The x-position in meters of a particle as a function of time in seconds is given by x(t) = 3 - 7t + 4t2. The y-position in meters of the same particle as a function of time in seconds is given by y(t) = 1 + 2t +3t2. If the particle's mass is 3.4kg, what force (magnitude and direction) is being applied?
a particle moves along the x axis. its position as a function of time is given by x = 6.8 t + 8.5 t^2 , where t is in seconds and x is in meters. what is the acceleration as a function of time?
Average and Instantaneous Velocity A particle moves along the x axis. Its position varies with time acording to the expression x =-4t + 2t2, where x is in meters and t is in seconds. The position-time graph for this motion is shown in the figure. Notice that the particle moves in the negative x direction for the first second of motion, is momentarily at rest at the moment t = 1 s, and moves in the positive x direction at times...
