4 A particle \(P\) starts from a fixed point \(O\) at time \(t = 0\), where \(t\) is in seconds, and moves with constant acceleration in a straight line. The initial velocity of \(P\) is \(1.5 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) and its velocity when \(t = 10\) is \(3.5 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
  1. Find the displacement of \(P\) from \(O\) when \(t = 10\). Another particle \(Q\) also starts from \(O\) when \(t = 0\) and moves along the same straight line as \(P\). The acceleration of \(Q\) at time \(t\) is \(0.03 t \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\).
  2. Given that \(Q\) has the same velocity as \(P\) when \(t = 10\), show that it also has the same displacement from \(O\) as \(P\) when \(t = 10\).
