The magnitude of acceleration when the velocity of the particle is zero can be found by differentiating the velocity function with respect to time (t) to find the acceleration function, and then plugging in the value of x when v = 0 into the acceleration function.The acceleration function (a) can be found by differentiating the velocity function (v) with respect to time (t):
[ a = \frac{dv}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(x^2 - 5x + 4) ]
[ a = \frac{d}{dt}(x^2) - \frac{d}{dt}(5x) + \frac{d}{dt}(4) ]
[ a = 2x\frac{dx}{dt} - 5\frac{dx}{dt} + 0 ]
[ a = 2xv - 5v ]
Now, when the velocity of the particle is zero, ( v = 0 ), so:
[ a = 2x(0) - 5(0) ]
[ a = 0 ]
Therefore, the magnitude of acceleration of the particle when the velocity is zero is 0 m/s².

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- A car travels along a straight stretch of road. It proceeds for 14.1 mi at 59 mi/h, then 29.3 mi at 49 mi/h, and finally 44.2 mi at 35.4 mi/h. What is the car's average velocity during the entire trip?
