TopicNon-constant acceleration

3. At time \(t\) seconds \(( t \geqslant 0 )\) a particle \(P\) has velocity \(\mathbf { v } \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\), where $$\mathbf { v } = \left( 6 t ^ { 2 } + 6 t \right) \mathbf { i } + \left( 3 t ^ { 2 } + 24 \right) \mathbf { j }$$ When \(t = 0\) the particle \(P\) is at the origin \(O\). At time \(T\) seconds, \(P\) is at the point \(A\) and \(\mathbf { v } = \lambda ( \mathbf { i } + \mathbf { j } )\), where \(\lambda\) is a constant. Find
  1. the value of \(T\),
  2. the acceleration of \(P\) as it passes through the point \(A\),
  3. the distance \(O A\).
