\end{figure} At \(t = 0\) the particle has a velocity of \(6 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) in the positive direction.
  1. Find the velocity of the particle when \(t = 2\).
  2. At what time is the particle travelling in the negative direction with a speed of \(6 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) ?
