A car \(P\) starts from rest and travels along a straight road for 600 s . The \(( t , v )\) graph for the journey is shown in the diagram. This graph consists of three straight line segments. Find
- the distance travelled by \(P\),
- the deceleration of \(P\) during the interval \(500 < t < 600\).
Another car \(Q\) starts from rest at the same instant as \(P\) and travels in the same direction along the same road for 600 s . At time \(t \mathrm {~s}\) after starting the velocity of \(Q\) is \(\left( 600 t ^ { 2 } - t ^ { 3 } \right) \times 10 ^ { - 6 } \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\).
- Find an expression in terms of \(t\) for the acceleration of \(Q\).
- Find how much less \(Q\) 's deceleration is than \(P\) 's when \(t = 550\).
- Show that \(Q\) has its maximum velocity when \(t = 400\).
- Find how much further \(Q\) has travelled than \(P\) when \(t = 400\).
