TopicNon-constant acceleration

3 A particle \(P\) moves in a straight line, starting from the point \(O\) with velocity \(2 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). The acceleration of \(P\) at time \(t \mathrm {~s}\) after leaving \(O\) is \(2 t ^ { \frac { 2 } { 3 } } \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\).
  1. Show that \(t ^ { \frac { 5 } { 3 } } = \frac { 5 } { 6 }\) when the velocity of \(P\) is \(3 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
  2. Find the distance of \(P\) from \(O\) when the velocity of \(P\) is \(3 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
