TopicNon-constant acceleration

2 A particle moves in a straight line. Its velocity \(t\) seconds after leaving a fixed point \(O\) on the line is \(v \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\), where \(v = 0.2 t + 0.006 t ^ { 2 }\). For the instant when the acceleration of the particle is 2.5 times its initial acceleration,
  1. show that \(t = 25\),
  2. find the displacement of the particle from \(O\).
