TopicNon-constant acceleration

6 A particle starts from rest at the point A and travels in a straight line. The displacement sm of the particle from A at time ts after leaving A is given by $$s = 0.001 t ^ { 4 } - 0.04 t ^ { 3 } + 0.6 t ^ { 2 } , \quad \text { for } 0 \leqslant t \leqslant 10 .$$
  1. Show that the velocity of the particle is \(4 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) when \(\mathrm { t } = 10\). The acceleration of the particle for \(t \geqslant 10\) is \(( 0.8 - 0.08 t ) \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 2 }\).
  2. Show that the velocity of the particle is zero when \(\mathrm { t } = 20\).
  3. Find the displacement from A of the particle when \(\mathrm { t } = 20\).
