Whenever important physicists are discussed, Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, and Albert Einstein seem get the most attention. However, as you've seen, Galileo formulated or
refined many of his discoveries and theories based on the findings of others who came
before him, including Aristotle and Nicolaus Copernicus. Likewise, Newton claimed that
he “stood on the shoulders of giants" in developing his work. You've just begun your
study of physics, but from what you know (or can research and find out) take a position
that Galileo, Newton, and Einstein deserve this special recognition. Alternately, identify a
physicist that you think has been overlooked, compared to these three. Do some
research and support your opinion with credible arguments.

Aparticle's position is given by x = 3.00 - 9.00t + 3t2, in which x is in meters and t is in seconds. (a) what is its velocity at t = 1 s? (b) is it moving in the positive or negative direction of x just then? (c) what is its speed just then? (d) is the speed increasing or decreasing just then? (try answering the next two questions without further calculation.) (e) is there ever an instant when the velocity is zero? if so, give the time t; if not, answer "0". (f) is there a time after t = 3 s when the particle is moving in the negative direction of x? if so, give the time t; if not, answer "0".
