TopicNon-constant acceleration

  1. At time \(t\) seconds, where \(0 \leq t \leq T\), a particle, \(P\), moves so that its velocity \(v m s ^ { - 1 }\) is given by
$$v = 7.2 t - 0.45 t ^ { 2 }$$ When \(t = 0\) the particle is sitting stationary at a displacement of \(\mathrm { d } m\) from a point O .
The particle's acceleration is zero when \(t = T\).
  1. Find the value of \(T\). For \(t \geq T\), the particle moves with a velocity \(v = 48 - 2.4 t m s ^ { - 1 }\).
  2. Find the time when \(P\) is at its maximum displacement from O . The particle passes through the point O when \(t = 38\).
  3. Find \(d\). \section*{BLANK PAGE FOR WORKING}
