6. A particle \(P\) moves in a straight line such that its displacement from a fixed point \(O\) at time \(t \mathrm {~s}\) is \(y\) metres. The graph of \(y\) against \(t\) is as shown.
  1. Write down the velocity of \(P\) when
    1. \(t = 1\),
    2. \(t = 10\).
      (2 marks)
  2. State the total distance travelled by \(P\).
    (2 marks)
  3. Write down a formula for \(y\) in terms of \(t\) when \(2 \leq t < 4\).
    (3 marks)
