Learn how to determine when a particle is at rest using a calculator

The video tutorial explains how to determine when a particle is at rest by finding when its velocity is zero. The instructor demonstrates how to derive the velocity function from the position function and solve for zeros using a calculator. Two methods for finding zeros and intersections on a graph are discussed, emphasizing the importance of storing these values for future use. The lesson concludes with the determination of specific time points when the particle is at rest.
