6 The velocity \(v \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) of a particle at time \(t \mathrm {~s}\) is given by \(v = t ^ { 2 } - 9\). The particle travels in a straight line and passes through a fixed point \(O\) when \(t = 2\).
  1. Find the displacement of the particle from \(O\) when \(t = 0\).
  2. Calculate the distance the particle travels from its position at \(t = 0\) until it changes its direction of motion.
  3. Calculate the distance of the particle from \(O\) when the acceleration of the particle is \(10 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\).
