TopicNon-constant acceleration

3 A particle \(P\) moves along a straight line for 100 s . It starts at a point \(O\) and at time \(t\) seconds after leaving \(O\) the velocity of \(P\) is \(v \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\), where $$v = 0.00004 t ^ { 3 } - 0.006 t ^ { 2 } + 0.288 t$$
  1. Find the values of \(t\) at which the acceleration of \(P\) is zero.
  2. Find the displacement of \(P\) from \(O\) when \(t = 100\).
