TopicNon-constant acceleration

  1. A fixed point \(O\) lies on a straight line.
A particle \(P\) moves along the straight line.
At time \(t\) seconds, \(t \geqslant 0\), the distance, \(s\) metres, of \(P\) from \(O\) is given by $$s = \frac { 1 } { 3 } t ^ { 3 } - \frac { 5 } { 2 } t ^ { 2 } + 6 t$$
  1. Find the acceleration of \(P\) at each of the times when \(P\) is at instantaneous rest.
  2. Find the total distance travelled by \(P\) in the interval \(0 \leqslant t \leqslant 4\)
