TopicNon-constant acceleration

  1. A particle \(P\) moves along a straight line.
At time \(t\) seconds, the velocity \(v \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) of \(P\) is modelled as $$v = 10 t - t ^ { 2 } - k \quad t \geqslant 0$$ where \(k\) is a constant.
  1. Find the acceleration of \(P\) at time \(t\) seconds. The particle \(P\) is instantaneously at rest when \(t = 6\)
  2. Find the other value of \(t\) when \(P\) is instantaneously at rest.
  3. Find the total distance travelled by \(P\) in the interval \(0 \leqslant t \leqslant 6\)
