6 The displacement of a particle is modelled by the equation \(\mathrm { s } = 7 + 4 \mathrm { t } - \mathrm { t } ^ { 2 }\), where \(s\) metres is the displacement from the origin at time \(t\) seconds. The diagram shows part of the displacement-time graph for the particle. The point \(( 2,11 )\) is the maximum point on the graph.

- Kai argues that the point \(( 2,11 )\) is on the graph, so the particle has travelled a distance of 11 metres in the first 2 seconds.
Comment on the validity of Kai’s argument.
- Determine the total distance the particle travels in the first 10 seconds.
- Find an expression for the velocity of the particle at time \(t\).
- Find the speed of the particle when \(t = 10\).
