Velocity

A particle moves in a straight line so that at time t seconds after passing through a fixed point, its velocity, v m/s, is given by v = 6 cos 2t. Find
  1. the two smallest positive values of t for which the particle is at instanteneous rest
  2. the distance between the positions of instantaneous rest corresponding to these two values of t
  3. the greatest magnitude of the accelerstion

    v= 6 cos 2t

    at inst rest v=0

    6 cos 2t= 0

    cos 2t= 0

    2t= cos^-1 0

    2t= 90

    t =45

    Well am not sure how to do this question but i think you have to find dv/dt first and them find the miniumum value of it. v=o fo find for t

    well this is a velocity qu so just as swanky thing said you have to differentiate by finding dv/dt and then find when v=o for a min value though not sure how to find the second smallest value..............mabye it's when v=0.001.........ahh help!
