TopicNon-constant acceleration

6 A particle \(P\) moves in a straight line passing through a point \(O\). At time \(t \mathrm {~s}\), the acceleration, \(a \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\), of \(P\) is given by \(a = 6 - 0.24 t\). The particle comes to instantaneous rest at time \(t = 20\).
  1. Find the value of \(t\) at which the particle is again at instantaneous rest.
  2. Find the distance the particle travels between the times of instantaneous rest.
