Step-by-step explanation:

The particle will be at rest when its velocity
v(t) is equal to zero. Recall that the velocity is simply the derivative of the position
x(t) with respect to time:


v(t) = (dx)/(dt)

Since
x(t) = t^2 - 2t + 2

then


v(t) = (d)/(dt)(t^2 - 2t + 2) = 2t - 2 = 0

Solving for t, we find that the particle will be at rest at


t = 1\:\text{s}
