TopicNon-constant acceleration

4 A particle \(P\) moves in a straight line starting from a point \(O\). At time \(t \mathrm {~s}\) after leaving \(O\), the velocity, \(v \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\), of \(P\) is given by \(v = ( 2 t - 5 ) ^ { 3 }\).
  1. Find the values of \(t\) when the acceleration of \(P\) is \(54 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\).
  2. Find an expression for the displacement of \(P\) from \(O\) at time \(t \mathrm {~s}\).
