At time \(t\) seconds the displacement of \(P\) from a fixed point \(A\) on the line is \(x \mathrm {~m}\). The diagram shows the \(( t , x )\) graph for \(P\). In the interval \(0 \leqslant t \leqslant 10\), either the speed of \(P\) is \(4 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\), or \(P\) is at rest.
  1. Show by calculation that \(T = 1.75\).
  2. State the velocity of \(P\) when
    (a) \(t = 2\),
    (b) \(t = 8\),
    (c) \(t = 9\).
  3. Calculate the distance travelled by \(P\) in the interval \(0 \leqslant t \leqslant 10\). For \(t > 10\), the displacement of \(P\) from \(A\) is given by \(x = 20 t - t ^ { 2 } - 96\).
  4. Calculate the value of \(t\), where \(t > 10\), for which the speed of \(P\) is \(4 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\).
