3 A particle \(P\), of mass 2 kg , is initially at rest at a point \(O\) on a smooth horizontal surface. The particle moves along a straight line, \(O A\), under the action of a horizontal force. When the force has been acting for \(t\) seconds, it has magnitude \(( 4 t + 5 ) \mathrm { N }\).
  1. Find the magnitude of the impulse exerted by the force on \(P\) between the times \(t = 0\) and \(t = 3\).
  2. Find the speed of \(P\) when \(t = 3\).
  3. The speed of \(P\) at \(A\) is \(37.5 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\). Find the time taken for the particle to reach \(A\).
