(B) Given the displacement function: $x = t^3 - 6t^2 + t$. Velocity $v$ is the first derivative of displacement with respect to time: $v = \frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(t^3 - 6t^2 + t) = 3t^2 - 12t + 1$. Acceleration $a$ is the derivative of velocity with respect to time: $a = \frac{dv}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(3t^2 - 12t + 1) = 6t - 12$. For acceleration to be zero: $a = 0$. $6t - 12 = 0$. $6t = 12$. $t = 2$ unit time.
