TopicNon-constant acceleration

7 A particle \(P\) moves in a straight line, starting from a point \(O\) with velocity \(1.72 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). The acceleration \(a \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\) of the particle, \(t \mathrm {~s}\) after leaving \(O\), is given by \(a = 0.1 t ^ { \frac { 3 } { 2 } }\).
  1. Find the value of \(t\) when the velocity of \(P\) is \(3 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
  2. Find the displacement of \(P\) from \(O\) when \(t = 2\), giving your answer correct to 2 decimal places. [3]
