Answer

$v_{(2)}=24\frac{m}{s}$

Work Step by Step

For the maximum positive velocity, acceleration should be zero: $a=24-12t=0$ $t=\frac{24}{12}=2s$ Thus, the maximum velocity occurs at $t=2 s$, and the velocity can be determined as: $v_{(t)}=24t-6t^2$ Now, plug in the value $t=2$ $v_{(2)}=24(2)-6(2)^2$ $v_{(2)}=24\frac{m}{s}$
