TopicNon-constant acceleration

5. A particle moves along the \(x\)-axis. At time \(t\) seconds, \(t \geqslant 0\), the velocity of the particle is \(v \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) in the direction of \(x\) increasing, where \(v = 2 t ^ { \frac { 3 } { 2 } } - 6 t + 2\) At time \(t = 0\) the particle passes through the origin \(O\). At the instant when the acceleration of the particle is zero, the particle is at the point \(A\). Find the distance \(O A\).
